King Lear divides his kingdom among the two daughters who flatter him and banishes the third one who loves him. His eldest daughters both then reject him at their homes, so Lear goes mad and wanders through a storm. His banished daughter returns with an army, but they lose the battle and Lear, all his daughters and more, die.

Review of 'King Lear (New Folger Library Shakespeare)' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

How can I give this anything less than a 5 when I spent about a decade of my life on MUDs and MOOs and at least the previous lustrum buried in text adventure games? Every single person whoever chopped up a kobold, tanked for a group or watched as their mana dived whilst covering a groupmate from the back ranks has wondered what it'd be like from the inside. This is a spectacular look therein.
