A2 Literature - King Lear revision walls

'The play presents the inevitable struggle of the young to overthrow the old'

'The real point of Cordelia's death is precisely that it is pointless.'

'King Lear is above all a play about power, property and inheritance.'

'The energy of the play is directed against society: there is anger, and a desire to strip away all clothing, to show that people are equally natural and equally sinful'
