Drama Cyclone: Family in King Lear
In King Lear by Shakespeare, families get broken apart by greed, hatred, and thunderstorms. The whole play revolves around a king and his daughters’ interactions when he gives them most of his kingdom. The entire family gets swept up in a humongous wave of drama as everyone except the youngest daughter starts backstabbing each other. There is also a subplot that mirrors the main story, with two brothers and their dad in a power struggle; the whole thing feels a bit unnecessary to the main story, however. All of King Lear revolves around family drama, and the changing dynamics as parents see their childrens’ true selves. At the beginning of the play the titular King Lear sees only the superficial actions
