"Le roi Lear" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written between 1603 and 1606. When aging King Lear decides to divide his kingdom among his three daughters based on their declarations of love, his favorite daughter Cordelia's honest restraint enrages him. He banishes her and splits his realm between his two flattering elder daughters, setting in motion a devastating chain of betrayal, suffering, and family destruction in pre-Christian Britain.
