Document Summary

Shakespeare demonstrates in this play his capacity for creativity. Speaks to real life conditions and getting older. People who appear to be blind can see the truth, and the people who can see the truth end up being blind. Interesting that there are no mothers mentioned in the play. Insight comes out of the madness: through edmund, goneril and regan. Shakespeare is asking us the relationship between reason and madness: makes us question if we really understand everything that is going on around us, anything can be turned around on a dime.
