9. King Lear was also full of sound and fury signifying nothing

I will have such revenges on you both
That all the world shall—I will do such things—
What they are yet I know not, but they shall be
The terrors of the earth. You think I’ll weep?
No, I’ll not weep.

Storm and tempest

I have full cause of weeping, but this heart
Shall break into a hundred thousand flaws,
Or ere I’ll weep.—O Fool, I shall go mad!
