Parallel Plot of King Lear of Shakespeare Many literary works contain parallel plots where similar actions performed by different characters produce the same result. After careful consideration it is clear that "there is such conspiracy in death of Shakespeare's Lear, Dear Lear, Cordelia, Edmund, Cancer" (Curry 17). The betrayal of the commitment to the number of authorities is the reason behind each of these characters' deaths. Likewise, Kent, Fool, and Edgar were much more faithful than their traitors.
In King Lear, Shakespeare made great use of the parallelism between the secondary plot and its main plot. As a form of parallelization, the effective use of King Lear's subgraph clearly emphasizes the drawbacks and advantages of prominent figures. The use of such literary equipment makes it possible for viewers to understand the feelings of the basic personality in the play. Specifically, the parallel relationship between Lear and Gloucester shown in the play is obviously intentional. Both of these people first cheated by accusing their legitimate children. Then all of them will try illegal children against them. Finally, because of their sins, they all died of tragic death. Careful study of Leah and Gloucester shows that the lives of these two people are actually parallel.
In William Shakespeare 's King Lear, a similar story occurred in parallel by similar events experienced by Lear and Gloucester. Leah and Gloucester are similar roles as they encountered similar problems by fulfilling their father's role. Their children have similar power aspirations. This is a problem that Lear and Gloucester should not address when dealing with serious mental and physical dilemmas. Although the two characters are very similar, the story of Lear King is tragic, and the story of Gloucester is not. The tragedy of Lear brings destiny to ourselves, which is the result of stimulating all of Lear. To make sure that the story of Leah is really tragic and Gloucester's story is not so, we must investigate the tragedy. Lear's decision will determine the tragedy factor even from the start of the game.
