this is a comedy. not even a tragicomedy, just a comedy with a few tragic details scattered throughout. but such is life.

I read King Lear in my AP Literature class and actually quite enjoyed it. It has also inspired me to look a lot more closely at other classic tales, and I am looking forward to doing so. Of course, I will keep Goodreads updated on my findings.

Planning to audition for this in a couple weeks, so I figured it was time to read it. Not my favorite Shakespeare but I do like Goneril and Regan....
