Teaching a Mad King

A mad king? How can a madman become a king? Well that is what happened in King Lear, a play wrote by William Shakespeare. Well everybody knows that it is not easy to learn Shakespeare text.
Who actually the mad king? Of course Lear himself. The tragic hero of the play. He went mad when his daughter whom he valued based on their flattery. When the turn their back and against him, he couldn’t accept it and become mad in the middle of the storm.
Who taught this mad king? A FOOL. Not an ordinary fool, but a thinking fool. Unlike any ordinary fool, Fool educates Lear in different ways. Through his songs and riddles, Fool actually is trying to tell and teach something to his master. A thinking fool, I could say.
Well, although this play turn to be tragic at the end and the fate of Fool is never known (he disappear after the storm), we should value Fool for his attempt to teach Lear to be a wise ruler of a kingdom. Instead of being “a foolish, old man”.
