The moon was shining sulkily, Because she thought the sun Had got no business to be there After the day was done— `It's very rude of him,'she said `To come and spoil the fun!'

Paula Byrne claims ‘Ryder and his creator do not love lords indiscriminately.’ Far beyond Waugh’s apparent default sympathy for aristocrats through his condemnation of their world’s destruction, Waugh shows very specific sympathy for the Marchmains. In many ways, their rise and fall resembles the workings of traditional tragedy, beginning as an Arcadian ideal, and ending in addiction, adultery and eventual death of the family patriarch. Connections between their family and characters in Shakespeare’s

Devotion as a Theme in King Lear The theme of loyalty is prevalent in Shakespeare’s King Lear. Many characters are often unreliable and will lie in order to receive their way. There were a select few who continued to be faithful, even if they were obligated to do so.

Their positions in life would cause those to assume that they only stay true to their superiors because of who they are
Valuing something does play into part by what we sacrifice in different ways to others. Holding something close to heart can only be determined by what was sacrificed in order to achieve it, and this ties into King Lear from Shakespeare’s play. Lear willingly gave up his land for his daughters to inherit; however, this affected the outcome of the values and his life that emerged out of it. In the play, Lear gives land to his daughters Regan and Goneril which in turn lead him to be a homeless beggar
Shakespeare and Iñárritu explore the key idea that the anti-heroes in both Birdman and King Lear confuse the notion of admiration for love. Shakespeare highlights King Lear begging for his daughters Goneril, Regan and Cordelia’s love as he says: “which of you shall we say doth love us most” (Act 1, Scene 1, Line 50) although, Cordelia is the only one who truly loves him and refuses to praise him she says “Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave, My heart into my mouth. I love your majesty According to
