This play is mainly about a king named Lear and Gloucester and how they had suffered from their poor decisions and family problems against their sons and daughters. This play included a lot of human cruelty just as betrayal and greed.
The one thing that I have learned from this play is that love cannot be expressed by words. If you really love someone (like how Cornelia loves her father) only your actions can truly express how u feel.

Reflection: Macbeth
The play Macbeth is about a king who met three witches that foretold his future. Later on in the play the protagonist, Macbeth, became a blood thirsty person who yearned for power.
Greed can really change a man. It can convince a person to walk astray from the righteous path. Just like in Shakespeare's play Macbeth. Macbeth's greed consumed him and made him a different person. He murdered King Duncan, hired assassins to kill Banquo, and even demolished Macduff's castle along with his family, all because of greed. So I guess greed is one of the fatal flaws one can have in life.

Reflection: Romeo and Juliet
I'm glad that i just have to read the abridged version of Romeo and Juliet.
This is a really interesting play, especially in the end. I never would of thought that both Romeo and Juliet would be so passionate about each other. I mean how can they be that much in love ever since they've seen each other for the first time? There is no such thing like love at first sight, only attraction at first sight. Well i guess Romeo is a hopeless romantic. I know that the feeling of loving someone cant be explained but i think Romeo's feelings are exaggerated.
The end of this play was really surprising. But thanks to this tragic ending, the Montague and Capulet family can finally come to a truce. Well, i guess great victory comes great sacrifice.
