Nothing will come of nothing.

Truth been said that Shakespeare is an outstanding playwright in the literature world. Lear is a character that defines the true meaning of moral blindness in human. The damage is done with single stupid decisions on playing childish games that he created for him selves. The tragic flaw of Lear.

Love is something that I believe goes beyond any kind of measurements.

It cannot be measure by how you professed it, or how much would you sacrifice for it. Love is a big word that goes beyond any kind of measurements. That was is love is all about. Doesn’t matter it is for your God, your family, your boyfriend, etc. As corny as it sounds, I truly believe that loves did makes the world goes round. J

I must admit that I was really attracted to The Fool character. Though his name contradicts through his utterance, he is actually the wise man in the play. Fool makes you think how fragile a man can be. His cynical speeches when he speaks in riddles tickle the humor elements in this tragedy. One of the my favorite riddle from Fool is

“ Have more than thou showest,

Speak less than thou knowest,

Lend less than thou owest,

Ride more than thou goest,

Learn more than thou trowest,

Set less than thou trowest,

Leave thy drink and thy whore,

And keep in-a-door,

And thou shalt have more,

Than two ten to a score.”

The Fool character guided Lear throughout his journey of enlightenment.

Fool in my eyes is in a way portrayed the image of the unsung hero. An important person that is as important as the hero in the story but always less talk about because of ones stereotypical duty in a story. His witty and mockery speeches are unforgettable unlike Tiresias in Antigone who is more serious yet play pretty much the same role in the play. He did not really educate the king but he warn the king of the future that he sees.
