- Ian House
- emphasises the dynamic relation between the main and subplots, saying that comparisons unsettle and illuminate our understanding of the story's principle
- the subplots multiply and enhance the effect of the universal action and themes
- George Williams
- the storm is directly linked to lear's disordered mind, disrupted families, and the divided kingdom
- the storm has a restorative effect for lear - he has to live through it "to be cured of evil"
- language evoking the old testament flood and the new testament last judgement
- Marilyn Gaull
- divine love - associated with universal order
- ****** love - chaos and destruction
- lear's choice of corrupt, ****** love over divine love results in emasculation and ********* of traditional roles while goneril and regan gain power
- Ian House
