    The King Lear Effect

    Taking a page from the Shakespearean stage, this episode is the comparison of what happened to Lear and his daughter Cordelia in the face of intensifying scrutiny and test of loyalty. I consider what reading comprehension is and what situational comprehension is, like reading the room as if it's a book. How do we know what is really going on?
