If Only It Were a Play

Shakespeare outraged the sensibilities of the Elizabethan society with his play King Lear and the death of the innocent Cornelia. The youngest sister’s demise ultimately points to a Godless universe.

I am inclined to go with Shakespeare’s theory.

There will be no pleas made to an all-powerful being that would allow a five-year-old’s life to deteriorate.

He is no God of mine.
