King Lear No Fear Review

The play King Lear by William Shakespeare, proved to be a great read for our AP Literature class. Due to its complexity many do not read this story until they get into higher learning. Firstly, it was good to have the original text right beside the modern english text. It allowed the reader to go back and look at the actual words before they were translated. Secondly, the play had a great moments of irony within it. Between Lear's daughters, going against him and Gloucester's son plotting against him it produced a lot of irony throughout the story. Additionally, the originality of the modern next benefited as well. Many modern stories bleep out the content which is used but it was unique how this story kept it. Lastly, the story was a great read. It was not a moment of boredness, and Shakespeare kept the readers appealed. It was also a great engaging read for our AP Literature class as we get ready for the year!
