由于对开本和四开本的版本差异,《李尔王》通行本中将剧本最后一段继位为王的台词给予埃德加,但通过细致的情节和内在脉络的分析,我们会发现这并不合常理。无论从个性特征还是王位继承的顺序上来讲,奥本尼都应该是新王。尤其重要的是,奥本尼本人的德性、他对李尔王古老的自然秩序的认可,更能够呈现《李尔王》中新旧两种自然观的道德含义。但是,奥本尼毕竟没有达到李尔王的层次,这或许暗示了《李尔王》中的政治衰颓不可逆转。 Due to the differences between the versions of the imperial clauses and the versions of the imperial clan, King Lear passed on the script of the last paragraph of this play to give Edgar his words, but through careful plotting and analysis of the inner context, we find that this does not fit Common sense. Whether in terms of personality traits or the succession order of the throne, Auburnne should be the new king. It is especially important that his own morality, his recognition of the ancient natural order of King Lear, is more capable of presenting the moral meaning of the old and the new views of nature in King Lear. However, after all, Auburnne did not reach the level of King Lear, which may suggest that the political decline in King Lear is irreversible.
