", can not conceive that a King, how ever old and stupid he may be, could believe the words of the vicious daughters, with whom he had passed his whole life, and not believe his favorite daughter, but curse and banish her". Ive read a bit of this, up to here, and I hate it. I can conceive that he would banish her, because she is embarrassing him, on accident, which he is freaking out about, loving her, expecting love back. Their relationship up to now has been perfect, and so this accident on the daughters part is earth shattering. Fuck this obnoxious tolstoy guy.

He treats absurdity in a tragedy as a failing, as if it were not a necessary element. Also, this Wiki article seems fragmentary. Is there another source?
