MCDONNELL, Cecilia. Parrhesía of fools. Truth, madness and pain therapeutics in King Lear. Bol. estét. [online]. 2020, n.50, pp.18-32.  Epub 01-Mar-2020. ISSN 2408-4417.  http://dx.doi.org/10.36446/be.2020.50.77.

This article aims to investigate the power of the comic as a subversive and therapeutic element that finds its power in the parrhesia. With this in mind, the research will focus on the figure of fools as agents capable of questioning all monological and stratified order, from an authentic, delatory and eccentric discourse. It will be considered, in particular, the role of the fool in William Shakespeare’s King Lear, as a paradigmatic case of the issue that concern us.
