Re: isiS_Eyes
Am glad that I have been able to ''hook'' you, and I take it as a compliment. Thanks a million. Yes, resurrection is only possible when one has faced great travesties in life.

P.S.
Aberjanee, I just wanted to let you know I'm deleting my response to your comment on my Gallery regarding my name. My answer to you was really silly. Hope I didn't offend you either!
Be well,
M

Abanerjee,
Your writing is really impressive. I'm hooked, drawn in, though I admit I had to look up "effulgence" in the dictionary.
How can we not feel badly for King Lear? Still, this is an ode to the buoyant human soul, which can resurrect itself despite numerous travesties it endures.

A very perceptive analysis of one of Shakespeare's best tragedies.

Re: Whatever doesnt kill you makes you better
Well said, Tzippy. Better get butter than get bitter, I think

Wonderfully written and explained, I like to see tragedy as an opportunity for great growth. We always have the choice when we hit a tragic event, either we get bitter or we get better. You decide :)

Re: shobana
You know shobs, sometimes I have felt that when one tries to fix life as a strategy, it often ends up in tragedy. Thank you for your constant readership

abanerjee - I like it when you said that "in great tragedy as in life, there is no poetic justice". I always wonder at statement as those when one views and undergoes life as a tragedy. lovely sentiments and write.

Re: Elyse
Dear elysianfields, your liking my blog is, in turn, an inspiration for me. Yes, 'victim' can be a disturbingly troublesome word. Sensitivity (empathy) and martyrdom, now you have set me thinking. Thank you so much, ma'am.

Re: sam
A man of power, egoistic, unless having undergone sufferings does not make him turn his sights inwards which he never did earlier, and learns much from it. King Lear, in that sense is a man more sinned against than sinning, but it was necessary as Shakespeare portrays it.

Dear Abanerjee:
So intriguing, your discourse here ~ I see your perspective in the finality that long suffering produces humility, wisdom and fellow-feeling (empathy) and pondering with the idea that great sufferers are always more the victim than the offender. How sad that term 'victim' is...and I ponder more. Albeit, I think I'd rather have wisdom than any other virtue ~ I do like this blog as it
inspires me to no end. I think of victim/ long suffering and in the long run, I consider: it must be a fine-line between great sensitivity (Love of others) or martyrdom -...hmmm...I will keep thinking and Kudos. I have such trouble with the word, victim...
