The characters in Shakespeare’s great tragedy struggle with questions of great existential import: is there an order and purpose to the world? Are human beings part of a greater order of things or rather only motivated by ruthless self-interest? At the time Shakespeare wrote King Lear, these questions, as well as the answers traditionally provided to them, had become burning issues. This course will explore the play in the light of these larger themes.
