Justice In King Lear

296 Words2 Pages
In King Lear, justice is served for those who are just and fair by rewarding them. Edgar, the legitimate son of Earl of Gloucester is a righteous man. “A credulous father and a brother noble,/ whose nature is so far from doing harms that he suspects none; on whose foolish honesty/ my practices ride easy” (1, 2, 187-189). As evident in this quote, Edgar is totally the opposite of doing harms and sometimes even too fair and honest, that he is easy to take advantage of. In fact Edgar does become a target of his half-brother Edmund, and suffers from humiliation caused by Edmund’s manipulation. However, despite Edmund’s merciless betrayal, Edgar does not lose his judgement or outrage, but remains calm and seeks to revenge in a justest way possible.
