Title: A Tragedy with Modern Implications
Product review: With many people living much longer than they did in Shakespeare's timeand their children putting them in ratty nursing homeswhere they are usually or even generally treated badlyand given the minimum of nursing care... going theremainly to die, this play has something to say to modern man.We like his daughters too often betray our patents andthey so often mistake our good intentions.Is madness the cost of old age? Are greed andenvy any less despicable in modern children thanthey were in the children of kings?We all live better than the kings of the past in America today,but treat our elderly worse than even the worst impoverished of Shakespeare's time.And we still have homeless mad people ( like Edgar pretends to be)on our streets and back roads. We haven't learned any lessons from our literature.
