LEC052004. Agna Philip. "Critical analysis of the significance of Lear's madness in King Lear"

Critical analysis of the significance of Lear’s madness in King Lear      Lear, the tragic hero of Shakespeare’s play King Lear is a king whose insane behaviour contributes a significant part in the play. His madness paved the way for his redemption and made him a better human. It also serves to provide a message to the leaders of Jacobean England as well.    Lear’s decision to divide the kingdom was an insane behaviour of suspicion. “Myths abounded about the catastrophic consequences of such division, leading to bloody civil war and fratricide. Shakespeare was writing during the reign of James I, a king seeking to strengthen ties between his two hostile kingdoms, England and Scotland” (Fox 255).

LEC052001 Adwaidh. S Critical analysis of the equivocator in Macbeth

  Equivocation in Macbeth can be examined in the light of historical events. The playwright uses equivocators to condemn and criticize the act of equivocation practiced by the Jesuit Priests of  England, who planned the gun powder plot to execute the king James I of Scotland . Throughout Macbeth's life equivocation is playing crucial roles from his transformation into the king to his tragic death. In Macbeth there are more episodes of equivocation, compared to a single episode in Shakespeare's early play Hamlet , which was written in 1599. The play is filled with equivocal appearances-women with beard, Macbeth in "borrowed robes", a day turned into night, a peaceful castle without and a burning cauldron of evil within.  The Gunpowder Plot was discovered in 1605,finding father Henry Garnet guilty of the plan. Macbeth was written in 1606,with much more episodes of equivocation than the early play Hamlet which was written in 1599 and had only a single episode of equiv...
