   Your eyes are in a heavy case, your purse in a light, yet you see how this world goes. Gloucester. I see it feelingly. (IV.vi.147-151) Here, Lear cannot relate to Gloucester because his vision is not clear, and he wonders how Gloucester can see without eyes. Although Lear has seen his mistakes, he still believes that sight comes only from the eyes.

   Is Lear a king with no eyes?

   • With no eyes, there is no ‘I’. The problem with Lear, however, is his overweening trust in the “marks of sovereignty, knowledge, and reason” as king, when we know that kingship itself does not vaccinate one against the follies of bias and misjudgement.

   Why does King Lear have a lack of insight?

   • Throughout most of King Lear, Lear’s vision is clouded by his lack of insight. Since he cannot see into other people’s characters, he can never identify them for who they truly are. When Lear is angered by Cordelia, Kent tries to reason with Lear, who is too stubborn to remain open-minded.

   In an instance of especially cruel ironic foreshadowing, Lear predicts the results of dividing his kingdom will bring him peace and happiness, not understanding he is creating the exact opposite effect by making his daughters declare their love. “‘tis our fast intent/ To shake all cares and business from our age/… while we/ Unburdened crawl toward death,” (I.i) he says, in revealing ...
