Power and betrayal drive the narrative as King Lear, in his old age, divides his kingdom among his three daughters based on their declarations of love. This decision leads to treachery from Goneril and Regan, who strip Lear of his authority and dignity, plunging him into madness. The steadfast love of his banished daughter, Cordelia, contrasts sharply with the deceit surrounding him. Shakespeare delves into themes of loyalty, madness, and the fallout of ambition, culminating in a haunting climax that reflects human cruelty and the possibility of redemption.
