The Wisdom of Shadows: Chaos, Disintegration, and Psychic Growth in King Lear
1Christopher Miller 701 W. Pratt St, Room 454 Baltimore, MD 21201.
Abstract:
King Lear is a timeless exposition of humankind's attempt to find meaning amidst the ceaseless turbulence of existence. This entails navigating the disintegrating pulls of nature and harmful human action that exist alongside affiliative, life-promoting gestures shown toward one another. As the predictability and safety afforded by social and two-dimensional psychic constructs collapse, several characters in this play are forced to reckon with the untamed, less organized realms of the mind and natural world. This leads to movements toward psychic paralysis and disintegration, as well as toward growth and interpersonal healing, dynamics that hinge on the characters' internal structuring.
