King Lear the play

As i was reading King Lear, it gives me a hard time understanding the play as the language used in the play was not as easy as i thought. It is difficult to interpret the lines without the explanation from our lecturer.
As days go on, i started to have a clear picture of what this play is about. Because this is a tragic play, Lear has become the tragic hero due to he experiences the process of being betray and fall at the end of the play. It creates a sense of sympathy to Lear after I had understood the play. It surely very hurts to be betrayed by our loves one especially by our daughters, sons and siblings. This play does have the moral values in it. Although this play was writen long time ago but the moral values in it still relevant this day.
