King Lear: Homemade bitter wine...

author:A salary teacher

Shakespeare, the master of European Renaissance humanist literature. Born in poverty, he deeply observed the world, and relied on his diligent efforts to create many theatrical works, achieving immortal glory in the history of world literature.

King Lear is one of Savon's masterpieces of tragedy. Lear in the play is the king of the ancient British Empire, and he has galloped all his life, the Kingdom of England. In his old age, he ended up wandering in the countryside and tasted all the bitter wine of sorrow, which made people sigh.

King Lear had three daughters, the eldest and second were married, and the third daughter was in the middle of the boudoir. He was in his eighties and tired of government politics, and he hoped to choose a successor from his three daughters. It's just that he didn't think carefully like the wise old man in the oriental legends, but let his daughters make a decision.

He summoned his three daughters to him and asked them who loved him the most, and he passed on the kingdom to her.

The eldest daughter, Cornaril, said that her love could not be expressed in words, that she loved her father more than her own eyes, life and freedom, and that she would lay down her life for him. The old emperor was very impressed, and immediately left her one-third of the country's wealth.

The second daughter, Reagan, was even more fierce. In addition to swearing like her sister, she also listed many specific details of life, saying that she would take good care of her old father. The old emperor was very happy and quickly announced that he would give one-third of the land.

The third daughter, Cordelia, does not speak ill of words. She said: I love you, I will love you according to my duty, just right.

Old King Lear was angry. He said, so you're an ungrateful person. I will think carefully about your words, if you do not make up for your own words, you will harm your own interests.

None of the courtiers around him spoke for Cordelia, only the old minister Kent reminded King Lear to understand the unbrite words with his heart, but the old king could not listen, he insisted that Cordelia was not filial, and decided to expel her.

He then divided one-third of the remaining land and wealth among his eldest and second daughters, dividing up all the privileges and honors equally between them, leaving only a hundred samurai close to him. He announced that he had officially retired behind the scenes and lived off the salary his daughters had given him.

After Cordelia left with the king of France, who had chosen her, King Lear moved to the eldest daughter's house. A month later, Gunnaril began to dislike his father for obstructing his hands and wanted to cut down his samurai. Later, he hated his father for being incompetent, unable to do anything, only enjoying it. She spoke ill of her father.

King Lear had to take his things with him to his second daughter. Before the man arrived, the letter from the eldest daughter had arrived first. The second daughter understood, and she asked her father to dismiss the seventy-five samurai, otherwise she would continue to live with the eldest sister.

That night, he and his samurai were rejected in the woods outside the city gates, after which he began to wander into the countryside. In the midst of the storm, he thought of his situation like a beggar, remembered the simple and sincere language of his little daughter, remorse and shame, like crazy.

Fortunately, the personal courtier informed Cordelia, who had become the queen of France, and she led the soldiers to find her father, and after careful care, his spirit gradually returned to normal.

In the end, the two eldest daughters committed evil retribution and killed their lives, but the old King Lear also lost his younger daughter in the entanglement and buried himself.

The story is real, as if it were happening all around us. The old King Lear liked sweet talk and flattery, and liked to faint, he was blinded by all kinds of promises, and as a result, he buried his rights, his family, and his life. How many people like to listen to good words!

This story is very unexpected, you are a king, the honor of a country, he has experienced countless ups and downs, for the words and deeds of others to consider, cope, fight back, in the end, he was still attacked by the closest people around him.

Anyone can be trapped by the weaknesses of human nature.

Finally, it's also a story of vows and love. Oaths are often like five-colored balls that are inflated with foam, and they disperse when they see the wind. True love, but rarely gushing out.
