<p>Like almost every good Shakespearean tragedy, King Lear packs a lot into the story: love, revenge, murder and, of course, scandal! What's not to love! If only it wasn't so...Shakespeare sounding!</p><p>It's not that Shakespeare is a bad writer--he's obviously one of the greatest; the problem is his plays were written hundreds of years ago and if you don't understand the context, the plays can be really confusing.</p><p>If you are struggling to get through King Lear or if you just want a bit more help, then this book is for you!</p><p>Inside you will find summaries of each scene, overview of themes and characters, and even a modern version of the play (right next to the original text, so you can read it together)!</p><p>If King Lear sounds like a fascinating read...you just wish it were written today (and not hundreds of years ago), then read on!</p>
