"So distribution should undo excess and each man have enough."
This quotation, is taken from Act 4, Scene one of William Shakespeare’s ‘King Lear’ and is possibly one of the most radical of all his speeches.
Gloucester, a nobleman, has just given a purse away to the poor "naked fellow' we know to be his son, Edgar. Later in the play, King Lear too has a moment of enlightenment, as shown in his "naked wretches speech", and is forced to recognise the pervasive helplessness of the poor in the face of the power of the rich, leading to his eventual rejection of all forms of hierarchy.
