King Lear is a brutal play, filled with human cruelty and awful, seemingly meaningless disasters. ... It could be argued that there is justice in this play, because all the people who do wrong are punished. However, the good people suffer as well
The play begins with Lear dividing his land between his daughters. ... He had planned the biggest part for Cordelia, however, when she said that she loved him as much as a daughter should love her father, Lear got angry and banished her from the kingdom. This is unjust, but at the end of the play, Lear is punished with death.
