What is this passage from Shakespeare King Lear saying?

What is the social/political world like in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, King Lear and The tempest?

  • what is the social/political world like in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, King Lear and The tempest?Is the society cohesive? What makes it that way? Does the condition of society improve over the course of the plays?

  • Answer:

    Okay, first of all, What the Hell? I could give you an entire discourse on the sociopolitical world of Shakespeare's time. But in the plays themselves? There is hardly any evidence to go on in a Fantasy world. King Lear is probably the only one you could even start to go into in such a fashion. The other two hardly qualify for such an intellectual exercise. Everything would be based on pure presumption. So Good luck. Now had you asked about Shakespeare plays based on real historical figures such as Henry the VIII, part one or two, or King Richard. This question could be answered? But to try to give you a social and political structure based on Wizards and Elementals and Fairies. Silly, Silly, Silly girl for asking such...... You're like an arrogant English/Theater Proffesor who wants to "Challenge" her students by asking them inane things about Shakespeare to make herself look smarter.
