Abstract

King Lear, one of history’s most famous leaders, faces a big decision. As the 80-year-old ruler of ancient Britain nears the end of his life, he needs to make plans for the future of his kingdom. He creates a process for making the decision and he acts. Tragically, his actions turn out to be ill-advised, and Shakespeare’s tragedy concludes with a lot of dead bodies. Had Lear used some uncommon sense, things might have turned out differently.
