Rating is for the edition, rather than the play itself. This is my favourite of the various different Shakespeare editions I've ever picked up. It's got a great deal of extra information for the reader, including several summaries (scene by scene, act by act, and an overview of the play).

La obra más trágica de Shakespeare (más aún que Hamlet) es, como nos tiene acostumbrados el Bardo, un catálogo de lecciones sobre el ser humano. En este caso la obra trata sobre dos temas: por un lado, la vejez, y por otro, la lucha por el poder.
No puedo resumir en un breve comentario todo lo que es esta magnífica obra, sólo puedo recomendar que la leáis o, si tenéis oportunidad, que vayáis al teatro a verla. Eso sí, id preparados para pasarlo mal. El Rey Lear es, más que trágica, apocalíptica.
