| Abstract | ||
| It is one of the essential ingredients that drama portrays human life and experience, which cannot be looked at apart from human relationships with all their good and nefarious elements. This research paper mainly revolves around the social relationships among family members, especially the son-daughter-father ones—filial relationships. It sheds light on how children treat their fathers in William Shakespeare’s tragedy King Lear, and shows there are two kinds of children, those who are faithful and those who are not. This illustrates that Shakespeare is quite aware of human nature which shows that both evil and goodness are inherent in the body of man which can be got headed in the right or wrong directions by children when treating their fathers. | ||
