That character later duels with one whose "name is lost," and gives an order that cannot be revoked by the play's end. Another character talks to one he calls a philosopher, though that "philosopher" later defends his father against Oswald after leading him to a cliff. During a rainstorm, the protagonist protests that he's "a man more sinned against than sinning," and later bemoans the loss of his fool, who calls himself his "shadow." A kingdom divided between Albany and Cornwall forms the basis of, for ten points, this play about the father of Goneril and Regan, written, by Shakespeare.
