Should be 1500 word essay on why king Lear is considered one of the four tragedies.

I have to write a 1500 word essay on why king Lear is considered one of the four tragedies. I only have about 850 words and i cant think about aything else to write please help.

Hello, I can help you to consider why you may be having trouble writing more than 850 words.

First think about the four tragedies: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and MacBeth.

I'm unsure if you have to mention the other tragedies, but I would recommend considering why they are tragedies. Why would King Lear be in this category?

Have you used quotes from King Lear to explain why it is a tragedy? Can you use quotes from Hamlet, Othello, and MacBeth to explain why they are tragedies?

Can you compare King Lear to Hamlet, Othello, and MacBeth? I think if you make comparisons, you could have more words in your essay. Brief summaries would show how each story is defined as a tragedy.

This is just a suggestion. Please look at your essay requirements before considering this idea:

The introduction would briefly discuss the tragedies.

Body: Why is Hamlet a tragedy? Why is Othello a tragedy? Why is MacBeth a tragedy? Why is King Lear a tragedy? What makes the story of King Lear different as a story in comparison with the other tragedies?
