King Lear(paperback) vs. King Lear(movie dramatization)

'King Lear', one of Shakespeare's greastest tragedies, is a play which is understood and therefore, appreciated much more when the use of both the paperback and the movie dramatization are employed. With the book alone one may not get the full meaning or jist of the conversations and actions going on in the play. On the other hand with the movie dramatization alone the flow of the conversation might be interrupted and understanding lost because of missing one or two words or lines. As we have recognized, standing alone these two elements have their various limitations, but together they cover each other's weaknesses and strengthen each other's strengths.
