William Shakespeare used letters as a dramatic device to reveal the
characters' loyalty and betrayal in his play King Lear. The purpose of the
letter is to develop the plot and reveal the characters' attributes. Three

The first letter that appeared on the stage is Edmund's false letter.
The letter talked about Edgar's plan to kill to his father, Gloucester. Edmund
made up this letter to plan against his brother Edgar. Edmund lied to
Gloucester about the letter. This letter developed the subplot in King Lear and
it shows us that Edmund betrayed his brother. Edmund planned to destroy the
love of Gloucester for Edgar, so Edmund can get what he wants. This false

Another important letter that appeared on the stage is talking about

Edmund after Gloucester finished the letter. Edmund decided to tell Cornwall

This is what I hope to do, to feel and understand the mind of the painter Ingres when he painted Louis-Francoi...

An ideal father is one who is both caring and understanding. To fit this mould, one must express these characteristics. The outlook and actions of King Henry IV (Shakespeare, Henry IV Part 1) and Joseph Strorm (Wyndham, The Chrysalids), suggest characters who do not match the mould of the archetypical ideal father. King Henry IV was a father who th...
