| | King Lear |
 | | Like Lear, he is old and self-important; like Lear, he misjudges his children and undergoes suffering that makes him a better man. However, Gloucester is less forceful and demanding than Lear and more given to compromise. |
 | | The places include the castles of King Lear and the Earl of Gloucester, the palace of the Duke of Albany, a forest, a heath, a farmhouse near Gloucester’s castle, a French camp near Dover, a British camp near Dover, and fields near Dover. |
 | | Lear is probably about 80, but he is often childish in his judgments until suffering reforms him. |
