King Lear discussion

In questioning the value of literary realism, Flannery O’Connor has written, “I am interested in making a good case for distortion because I am coming to believe that it is the only way to make people see.” Write 2-3 paragraphs in which you “make a good case for distortion,” as distinct from literary realism. Analyze how important elements of King Lear are “distorted” and explain how these distortions contribute to the effectiveness of the work. Avoid plot summary and use evidence.
