Are people honest and virtuous? William Shakespeare’s tragedies ‘King Lear’, ‘Othello’ and ‘Julius Caesar’ show how easily virtue and honor turn into nothing under the weight of fateful decisions and human imperfection.
‘King Lear’ is a play about a monarch betrayed by his daughters, whose possessions crumble like his mind giving way to the chaos of madness. ‘Othello’ is a tragedy about a respected general who fell into an artfully woven web of deception and allowed fierce jealousy to drown out the arguments of his heart and mind. ‘Julius Caesar’ is a story about ambition and political intrigue, about how people make mistakes and power attracts too many.
Enjoy Shakespeare’s elegant style in the original language while reading the greatest tragedies in the history of English literature.
