King Lear

Practically everyone I know who is reading this right now hates it. Why??? I don't understand???

Perhaps it's just me but I found this to be far more entertaining than Othello. While I admit that there were some lulls in the plot and there was a fair share of unexplained occurrences, the book remained fascinating and engaging. I found the characters so unique and perplexing- each one was developed far more than a single character was in other Shakespeare tales I've read. They were vicious, manipulative, and vexing.

Let me read more about crazy old men and the daughters who swear their unwavering fealty to them.

This is the Shakespeare that I came here for and I am loving it (bring on Macbeth though cause come on that story is everything I yearn for and more).
