fiction kinglear kinglearsequel madness royalty sequel shakespeare

This is sequel I wrote is carrying on from William Shakespeare's 'King Lear' tragedy drama! This sequel will be written in the format of the original, in other words, a script! 

I have decided to use Cordelia as one of my main characters in this story even though she dies in the end of the original play- I felt like she was a strong, loyal female character and based this story around her strong character.

This play is carrying on as a tragedy. The king of France comes back to Albany after hearing the disasters that occured in the kingdom. Him and Cordelia are now in charge but throughout the play, Cordelia shows signs of symptoms of her fathers madness but will she follow in Lear's footsteps?

Hope all of the Shakespeare fans enjoy :)All Rights Reserved

Unbeknownst to her, Cordelia is the rightful heir to the throne, a secret kept hidden from her for her own protection. However, whispers of her true identity are beginning to spread among the people, and a growing movement of supporters are rallying behind her. Soon, the truth will be revealed, and Cordelia will be called upon to reclaim her rightful place. She never wanted to hurt her very homeland, but the truth of her past and the cruelty of the royal family led her to take matters in her own hands and remove them from the throne of nine kingdoms and save her homeland. But little did she know she'd end up hurting the very place, the very people she wanted to protect, to seek revenge for.

I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!

Lear VS Shylock by GrahamPerden7

This is a crossover fan fic along the lines of "King Kong vs Godzilla" or "Freddy vs Jason". In this case it's King Lear vs Shylock, a story constructed using only snippets of Shakespeare's original dialogue, tweaked here and there to make some semblance of sense. It is not intended to come off as anything resembling an actual Shakespeare play. I'm just messing around with classic literature. I have combined plot elements from the two plays featuring these characters, "King Lear" and "The Merchant of Venice". As such there will be spoilers for both. I have watered both stories down significantly, predominantly using elements and characters from King Lear. I would have taken more time on the project but I am working on another, "Hamlet vs Macbeth" - a little less original perhaps but it keeps me occupied.
