King Lear becomes Lear texting “okay who wants a kingdom,” to which Goneril replies “me me I do.”

A new book from Mallory Ortberg imagines what literary legends including King Lear and Jane Eyre would have texted.

A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley Lear gave away his kingdom.

If it were not the case, then there would be a Jonestown after every performance of King Lear.

But he loved showing off the Lear as the party favor for a Hollywood that had everything.

"'King Lear' may be recognized as the perfect model of the dramatic art of the whole world," says Shelley.

The drama of "Lear" begins with a scene giving the conversation between two courtiers, Kent and Gloucester.

Goneril's steward appears, and behaves rudely to Lear, for which Kent knocks him down.

But they are lost among long and high-flown speeches, which Lear keeps incessantly uttering quite inappropriately.

But Regan says she will receive him only with twenty-five and then Lear makes up his mind to go back to Goneril who admits fifty.
