a) Characters in The Tempest
b) Protagonists in Jane Eyre
c) Antagonists in Macbeth
d) Characters in King Lear

Answer 1

The daughters of King Lear, Goneril, Regan, and Cordelia, are characters in the play 'King Lear' by William Shakespeare and not related to 'The Tempest,' 'Jane Eyre,' or 'Macbeth.'

Step-by-step explanation:

The daughters of King Lear are characters in the play King Lear by William Shakespeare. They are not characters in The Tempest, nor are they protagonists in Jane Eyre, and they are certainly not antagonists in Macbeth. King Lear's daughters are named Goneril, Regan, and Cordelia. These characters are pivotal to the narrative of the play, each representing different aspects of loyalty, power, and family dynamics. In contrast to Shakespeare's works, Henrik Ibsen's plays often feature ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, such as in A Doll's House, where the female protagonist faces ethical choices and deals with subjects of relevance to the audience. The structure of tragedy in plays has evolved from focusing on nobility and grand themes to capturing the essence of the human condition, often through characters with whom audiences can identify more readily.
