King Lear shakespeare!!?

Question

So for english class, i have to plan for about six different essays one of the topics being "love is no healer in fact it starts all of the trouble in the first place" does anyone know of proofs?? Its a 3 point essay!!.

Answer 1

Your topic question comes from Harold Bloom:

"The serving love of Edgar prepares him to be an unstoppable revenger against Edmund, and a fit monarch for a time of troubles, but the play’s design establishes that Edgar’s is as catastrophic a love as Lear’s. Love is no healer in The Tragedy of King Lear; indeed it starts all the trouble, and is a tragedy in itself."

Please see the first link for more.

and on Google Books (which can't be "cut and pasted), in "A Companion to Shakespeare's Works" By Richard Dutton, you will find some more proofs. Please click on the 2nd link below.
