King Lear
<view this essay>.... assured. Alas, the discovery of Goneril's letter urging Edmund to kill her husband
Albany leads to his arrest. Edgar in disguise fights Edmund, who is defending his honour and is mortally wounded - "the
wheel has come full circle". Gloucester, realising the wrong he has done to Edgar, yet joyful he is alive, dies. Edgar joins
Albany in ruling the country.

<view this essay>.... writing of both is diverse and yet they are the same.
