From a
linguistic cognitive perspective, Shakespeare highlights the theme of King Lear through metaphorical
expressions. One of the main clues to the play was the reckless and irrational
act that King Lear and Gloucester had to deal with some of their own problems.
These behaviors cause their personal and family tragedies. The author analyzes
the tragic favour of King Lear from
three aspects: The cognitive metaphorical expressions of language, tragic theme
and the eyes. The drama King Lear shows
the metaphorical expression of language cognition in the modeling of
characters, the theme expression and the plot construction. From a linguistic
point of view, Shakespeare highlights the internal structure and theme of drama
by setting reckless and irrational actions of characters, and metaphorically
expresses the grave consequence of recklessness and irrationality by this way
of setting.
