The Fool made me laugh out loud exactly twice. I give it three stars because I'm sure it's great, but I just don't get it. (  ) anoceandrowning | Jan 21, 2010 | This play was discussed by the Great Books KC group of which I am a member. We also watched the movie "A Thousand Acres" to see another version of the plot. This story becomes more harrowing the older one becomes. It's a reminder that one's children don't always remain loyal. But then again, some parents do bad things or make unwise choices. (  ) Clif | Dec 25, 2009 | In my ongoing quest to read Shakespeare's complete works, I have made a discovery: I find a lot of his main characters in the tragedies annoying (which isn't rare for me, I find a lot of characters who bemoan their fate irritating). The difference with Will is that even though I don't necessarily LIKE these people, I certainly CARE. King Lear is not different: the bullying tyrant and his tragic, loyal daughter are unforgettable. Actually, the subplot of Edmund and Edgar was what really got to me, with the whole tension about legitimate children and those who aren't. It's essentially, perfect. (  ) maryjanemanolos | Nov 7, 2009 | Easily my favorite of the Shakespeare plays I've read. I'd love to see this one. (  ) colleenharker | Jul 8, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review

Wikipedia in English
Ho, ne rezonu pri l' neces-kialo.
Ecx la plej acxaj almozuloj havas
en la plej povrajajxoj superfluon.
Se ne allasi al la natur' pli multan
ol la necesan, la homvivo estos
ja cxipa kiel besta vegetado!
Vi estas damo. Se vin vesti varme
jam luksus, la naturo ne bezonus
cxi vian luksan veston, kiu varmoni
apenaux tenas. Sed pro l' efektiva
neceso. . . !
La sekvantaj vo-literoj donas apogon por la kreskanta pasio -- kaj la kulma ripetado de la vorto 'neceso' plue reliefigas gxin. (Cxi tio sxajnas arbitra elekto de la tradukanto, cxar en la originalo gxi ,amkas.) Tiu cxi sama parolado finas egale patose:
Vi kredas
ke ploras mi, sed ne, ne, mi ne ploros.
Mi havas egan kauzon plori, tamen,
Cxi kor' en centmil pecojn krevu antaux
ol ploros mi. Folul! Mi frenezigxos!
Oni preskaux auxdas la tumulton de aplauxdo, kiun instigus la liverado de cxi tiuj vortoj.
Tutcerte la viva teatro postulas malsimilajn talentojn, ol la poezio destinita por nura legado. Gxis nun oni malmulte studies cxi tion en Esperanto. Cxe la dramo trovigxas plua elemento, nome, la aktoro. Tiu aktoro scipovas prezenti cxiaspecajn humorojn -- koleron, timon, ploron, malpaciencon -- pere de la vorto, kiu igxas kromajxo al liaj gestoj.
