| dcterms.abstract | This paper looks at King Lear and its tragic ending. Shakespeare's King Lear is based on various accounts, but interestingly he changes from the happy endings of his sources into his own tragic ending by putting Lear and Cordelia to death. This tragic ending has been criticized, but no one could be certain why Shakespeare ends his play in the way he does, especially why he makes Cordelia die. As a result, many critics tried to discover why Cordelia dies in the end. This paper will analyze the various criticisms on Cordelia's death, and show the opposing views of critics' arguing that Cordelia's death is just meaningless. Furthermore, it will prove that Cordelia's death is meaningful and crucial to King Lear based on the persuasive grounds which many other critics propose. | |
