Synopsis "Rey Lear (in Spanish)"

Lear, rey de Bretaña, autoritario y mal aconsejado, tiene tres hijas: Goneril, mujer del duque de Albania; Regan, mujer del duque de Cornualles y Cordelia, a cuya mano aspiran el rey de Francia y el duque de Borgoña. Con la intención de dividir su reino entre las tres hijas según el afecto que ellas sientan por él, Lear pregunta a cada una cómo lo quiere. Goneril y Regan hacen protesta de afecto y cada una recibe un tercio del reino. Cordelia, modesta y digna, dice que lo ama como manda el deber...El Rey Lear es, de todo el teatro de William Shakespeare (1564-1616), el drama más potente, desgarrador, trágico, el que, partiendo del esquema casi abstracto de una fábula alegórica, llega a las últimas profundidades del sentimiento humano.'

William Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon, c. April 23, 1564jul. - Ibid., April 23/May 3, 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor. Often known as the Bard of Avon (or simply the Bard), he is considered the most important writer in the English language and one of the most famous in world literature.

According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, "Shakespeare is generally acknowledged as the greatest of all time writers, a unique figure in the history of literature. The fame of other poets, such as Homer and Dante Alighieri, or novelists such as Leo Tolstoy or Charles Dickens, has transcended national barriers, but none has achieved the reputation of Shakespeare, whose works today are read and performed more frequently and in more countries than ever. The prophecy of one of his great contemporaries, Ben Jonson, has thus been fulfilled: 'Shakespeare does not belong to one age but to eternity'".

Among his most notable works are Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. His ability to portray the complexities of human nature, along with his mastery in the use of verse and language, has made him a timeless figure.
