Description Lear decides to divide his kingdom between his three daughters. To determine their share, they need simply to express their love for him. The youngest, Cordelia, says nothing. Everything else is history.

Shakespeare’s masterpiece is a portrait of a man in decline. Yet, as his mind falters, he ekes out new wisdom. As people betray him, he discovers true constancy. At his nadir, he is at his best.
