To those who don’t believe in afterlife
\nKing Lear<\/em> is unrelenting tragedy;
\nSadistic, even, given the needless strife
\nThat leads to Cordelia dying violently.
\nWhat’s more, precisely because of Lear’s progression
\nTo empathetic love from willful hate
\n(Thanks to the kind and selfless intercession
\nOf Kent and “Fool”), he follows her exit straight.
\nYet, those who feel we each possess a Soul
\nTranscend the tragic ending of the play
\nAnd Shakespeare’s perspicacity extol
\nFor giving Divinity the final say.
\n++<\/span>In Hamlet<\/em> there’s Providence in “a sparrow’s fall”;
\n++<\/span>In Lear<\/em> it can be found in “ripeness is all”.<\/p>\n
