In that one brief moment, I actually wondered if “okay” or something like it might still be possible. But that is how a tragedy like ours or King Lear breaks your heart—by making you believe that the ending might still be happy, until the very last minute.
Act 5, Scene 5Kitabı okudu
GLOUCESTER: O, let me kiss that hand!
LEAR: Let me wipe it first; it smells of mortality.
EDGAR: Yet better thus, and known to be contemned,
Than still contemned and flattered. To be worst,
The lowest and most dejected thing of Fortune,
Stands still in esperance, lives not in fear.
The lamentable change is from the best;
The worst returns to laughter. Welcome, then,
Thou unsubstantial air that I embrace.

Leaving free things and happy shows behind.

When that which makes me bend makes the King

Let me, if not by birth, have lands by wit.
All with me’s meet that I can fashion fit.
GLOUCESTER: I begin to find an idle and fond bondage in the oppression of aged tyranny, who sways not as it hath power but as it is suffered.
FRANCE: Thou losest here a better where to find.
But that is how a tragedy like ours or King Lear breaks your heart—by making you believe that the ending might still be happy, until the very last minute.

Browning’in “Roland Adlı Çocuk Kara Kule’ye
Geldi” adlı öykü şiirinden esinlenerek
yazılmıştır. Aslında Browning’in şiirinin yazılışı
da, ünlü yazar William Shakespeare’in Kral Lear
adlı oyununa borçludur.
King Lear (W. Shakespeare)
Bugün Shakespeare'in Kral Lear adlı eserinden aldığım bir sözü ve onun üzerine aldığım notlarımı paylaşmak istiyorum. (Act 1, Scene 4)
"How far your eyes may pierce I can not tell: Striving to better, oft we mar what's well"
"Ne kadar ileriyi gördüğünü pek bilemiyorum ama , çok kere daha iyisini yapayım derken iyinin de
