King Lear

Credits: William Shakespeare (author)

Summary

The aged King Lear divides his kingdom between the two daughters who flatter him and banishes Cordelia, the one who loves him honestly. Stripped of power and driven out into a storm, he learns what he has thrown away, while a parallel plot of treachery unfolds around the Earl of Gloucester. This book contains scenes of violence as its author wrote them.

Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
