What've you got? I've never read it, but I've pretended to, and blagged conversations...

I've never studied it in enough detail to be able to make an intellegent comment but did enjoy reading it.
How is your essay structured, what are your main points in showing Lear as tragic?
Have you used any internet resources?

i think what happens to cordelia is the most tragic. usually the deaths in a tragedy are people who in some way deserve it. the hero does as s/he has the tragic flaw that brings about their undoing.

cordelia's death seems somewhat uncalled for. in fact, for a long time, an alternative ending was staged in which she lived. i think it was written in the 1800s sometime and was corny as hell, i did read it once.

also i find gloucester more tragic than lear
