Book Reports / The Death of Cordelia in Shakespeare's King Lear- Shakespeare's intended purpose [6]
Why does the death of Cordelia in King Lear matter? What was Shakespeare's purpose in Cordelia's death? I have some ideas, but I am not sure of their exact validity. I am certainly open for fresh ideas.
One purpose of her death- to further the idea of an unjust world.
Another- because it is a direct cause of the death of King Lear.
Please help!
