King Lear/A Journey

Abstract: A 5 page essay that examines Shakespeare's King Lear as a journey. The writer argues that the aging monarch goes on a journey of self-discovery that is both literal and metaphorical, in that Lear actually does "journey" in the narrative, as well as explore the depths of his own psyche and soul. Throughout this sojourn, different emotions serve to shape Lear's consciousness, affecting what he learns and the enlightenment that comes, which is his ultimate destination. No additional sources cited.
