Be sad for the guy

  • Reaches anagnorisis increasingly as his situation worsens.
  • Readers can connect more to Lear

We SHOULD be sympathetic towards Lear

Evidence

Anagnorisis and the Tragic Hero

Lets only focus on King Lear

"...O, I have ta'en

Too little care of this!" (3.4.32-3)

"I am a very foolish fond old man,

Fourscore and upward, not an hour more nor less;

And, to deal plainly,

I fear I am not in my perfect mind." (4.7.60-3)

**even though we can definitely see instances of anagnorisis with other characters (cough cough...Gloucester)
