King Lear could be described as the peak of Shakespeare’s drama while it depicts the pit of human existence – and hints at the possibility of a redeeming shred within it. It is built on the recognition that 99% of our life is brutal and absurd, and the remaining 1% is transcendent beyond words. King Lear reminds us that everything comes from nothing: the created world, the creative word, the procreated child, ambition, jealousy, love. It humbles our godlike attempts to measure the immeasurable and spurs our desire to express the inexpressible. It brings us face to face with nothing and everything.
