He differentiates between worldly obedience and rebellion against the father as spiritual success or failure. Goddard claims Desdemona was most like Cordelia of the other Shakespeare heroines. Cordelia underplays her true love for Lear as much as Hamlet overplays his for his father.
Goddard sees Hamlet and King Lear as parallel plays but claims Lear has the better answers. Another theme is unregulated passion has power to drive human nature to chaos. Unmastered passion causes a character to consume himself.
The Golden Mean is seen as the ideal. King Lear shows how a king became a man.

Goddard claims mad Lear pardons first then asks the offence. Goddard says it is important that Shakespeare included the title King in King Lear. Key is in blinding of Gloucester scene and metaphor of seeing. For both Lear and Gloucester, affliction brings insight, more valuable than sight. Goddard claims III.
Lear and Falstaff both love life, never consider suicide. He does a thorough analysis of the last scene and questions whether Cordelia is really dead at the end, or rather that Lear perceives that Cordelia lives on after her death. An Essay on King Lear. Greenblatt, Stephen. Shakespeare was reading a book by Samuel Harnsett about illegal exorcisms done in as he wrote King Lear in Greenblatt argues that aesthetic interpretation of literature cannot be separated from the cultural context of that literature and claims that even deconstructionalism blurs the line between history and literature.
Greenblatt connects both texts to the struggle to redefine the sacred which led to civil war in the mid 17 th Century. This is the time of the inquisition and witch burning. Edgar was forced to counterfeit. In Lear there are no ghosts, witches, or demons but a man faking possession and madness Edgar as Poor Tom. His violence is self-directed—masochism—not acts of viciousness as those done by Cornwall or psychologically hurtful as those done by Goneril and Regan and Edmund.
Lear seems to want the storm to mean something symbolic, yet there is no evidence that it does. Harbage, Alfred. William Shakespeare King Lear. Plymouth, England: Northcote House, Magic in the Web. Holahan compares Lear to Cordelia in the last scene and suggests that he takes on some of her characteristics, notably her softness of voice. Knight, G. Kott, Jan.
