King Lear No Fear Review

King Lear No Fear is a interesting tragedy. There were many times in this book when you could connect the book to real life situations. Although this book was very predictable at times it showed you life lessons and morals that should be known through life. This book has many themes inside of it such as greed, blindness, power, and plenty more. In my opinion I think William Shakespeare did a good job with setting the mood throughout the book and also with the tone. I enjoyed reading this book with my classmates as we read the book together as if we were the characters in the book. I would recommend this book to someone who was looking for a great tragedy.

A lie that caused one young man and his family their lives

Once upon a time there was a king and he gathered the best players for a rugby team. He had the best of the best, the strongest of the strong and the fastest of the fast.One day the king went up to a skinny peasant. The king stated that the peasant had to build a rugby team that would beat is or that him and his team would die.   He only had a week to do so. The young peasant went village to village gathering all of his cousins. Telling them that the king had invited him and the people of his choice to play in a fun game of rugby. He knew if he had told his cousins that this game of rugby was a life and death game that they would not participate in it. He told them if they were to win that the king would give them a big reward. Of course as one should be his cousins was eager to participate. They practiced day and night trying to get better but it just wasn't working.The little family knew what they was up against.After long days and nights the day was finally here. Everyone was excited except for the young man he knew his life was over. When the team had stepped foot in the stadium the king shouted "Are you ready to die". The family was looking confused on why the king had said that. So, finally the truth had came out as the young man explained to his family what had happened. The cousins were shocked and scared. The outcome of the game is the one that was expected the kings team had won as the little family was destroyed. Before the king killed the family he asked the young man why did he lie to his family. Before he could respond the floor from under them had dropped and they were hung.


MORAL: The truth will set you free because if you lie you could hurt yourself and others.
