In conclusion, king Lear provides a profound stress on the brutality towards characters and nature within the play. The notion of brutality, whether through punishment or fate, is seen to be an omnipresent threat, subjecting towards all existence. Through the banishment of Cordelia, the blindness of Lear and Gloucester, the storm scenes, and the pervasive imagery of a hostile environment, Shakespeare explores the relentless and often irrational cruelty present in the world. Shakespeare presses on the idea of both worlds subject to brutality to create a pivotal commentary on the destructive effects of an unbalanced society. Underscoring the inescapable brutal consequences of unchecked morals, loyalty and power.
