Capital in the great shakespearian dramatic era, probably it's the greatest one with Macbeth too. King Lear is all a big metaphor about the hierarchies' twisting and human crisis. In this drama sub plot is the real transfiguration of the main one, there's a complex philosphical inquiry behind all figures and it makes reading absorbing.
