fABLEd 10 King Lear

About this Episode Lucy and Alice discuss their podcast episode on Shakespeare's "King Lear," focusing on its portrayal of disability and madness. Alice explains the plot, highlighting King Lear's irrational behaviour, his daughters' reactions, and the tragic outcomes. They delve into the character of Gloucester, who is blinded and later contemplates suicide. The conversation critiques Shakespeare's depiction of madness and disability, noting its sensationalism and lack of positive representation. They also discuss modern interpretations, such as viewing Lear's madness as dementia, and reflect on the play's broader themes of power, family dynamics, and societal decline.
