초록
Nature is a governing language in King Lear. It entails a great variety of dramatic textures, unfolding for the most part in act 3, where the storm is depicted as a metaphoric, as well as a physical force. This paper attempts to trace the widest significations of the word, ‘nature’ as read in different contexts in the text, with special references to those contained in the act 3. In uncovering the layered meanings of nature, this paper devises and resorts to three conceptual modes for argument. The first is the concept of nature understood normatively in relation to the human will to attain the reason of God. It then is followed by the nature understood in terms of the moral and amoral quality of the man set in relation to a prevailing social order. The final is the concept of nature understood in terms of the physical environment interacting with the human being while sustaining biological survival and growth. Placed in this framework, this paper dissects the scenes full of allusions and metaphors, revealing a wide range of human profiles and social constructs set within a unique dramatic structure. It explores possible range of arguments relevant to crystallizing a generalized concept of nature, encompassing physical, psychological and social domains. It equally endeavors to isolate salient dramatic features germane to act 3, including sensory images, figurative languages, allusions and symbols, as deemed necessary to understand the thematic power supporting the act 3. This paper concludes with defending the viewpoints upholding the layered meanings of nature as essential to formulating the central theme of this drama.
Abstract
Nature is a governing language in King Lear. It entails a great variety of dramatic textures, unfolding for the most part in act 3, where the storm is depicted as a metaphoric, as well as a physical force. This paper attempts to trace the widest significations of the word, ‘nature’ as read in different contexts in the text, with special references to those contained in the act 3. In uncovering the layered meanings of nature, this paper devises and resorts to three conceptual modes for argument. The first is the concept of nature understood normatively in relation to the human will to attain the reason of God. It then is followed by the nature understood in terms of the moral and amoral quality of the man set in relation to a prevailing social order. The final is the concept of nature understood in terms of the physical environment interacting with the human being while sustaining biological survival and growth. Placed in this framework, this paper dissects the scenes full of allusions and metaphors, revealing a wide range of human profiles and social constructs set within a unique dramatic structure. It explores possible range of arguments relevant to crystallizing a generalized concept of nature, encompassing physical, psychological and social domains. It equally endeavors to isolate salient dramatic features germane to act 3, including sensory images, figurative languages, allusions and symbols, as deemed necessary to understand the thematic power supporting the act 3. This paper concludes with defending the viewpoints upholding the layered meanings of nature as essential to formulating the central theme of this drama.
