Das Leben und der Tod des Königs Lear
Translated by Christoph Martin Wieland
"Das Leben und der Tod des Königs Lear" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written around 1606. The play follows the fate of King Lear and his three daughters amid the violent turmoil of a divided kingdom. When Lear banishes his youngest daughter Cordelia for failing a test of love, he sets in motion a devastating chain of events. A parallel storyline involving Earl Gloucester and his two sons mirrors Lear's tragedy, as loyal children are cast out while disloyal ones scheme for power and inheritance.
