Beschreibung
Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: Undergraduate, Griffith University (School of Humanities, Languages and Social Science), course: Global Shakespeare, language: English, abstract: Humility is an important virtue, especially for kings who hold immeasurable power. In William Shakespeare’s tragedy play 'King Lear', Lear clearly lacks humility. This essay argues Lear must learn humility. He must learn that his offence against the kingdom is not just political, in the sense that he makes a wrong decision about how to govern, but also ethical and humanitarian, in that he comes to understand his own responsibility for rooted social injustice.
