520 |a The ending to Shakespeare's Tragedy of King Lear has generated much debate. Performance history and critical interpretations of the conclusion of the Folio version of Lear have been pronouncedly divided into readings intimating the tragic hero's redemption and readings averring his ultimately bleak condition, whether of delusion or despair. Recent attempts to describe Shakespeare's use of scripture in this play have offered more nuance, acknowledging the play's blending of pagan and Christian elements. While King Lear has extensively been compared to the book of Job and to apocalyptic passages in Revelation and Daniel, allusions to the gospel narratives and to Luke in particular raise the thorny question of Cordelia's role as a Christ-figure. This essay argues that the ambiguous and suggestive nature of Lear's final words ("Look there, look there!") is both preserved and illuminated when read as an allusion to Jesus' words in Luke 17:21. This previously unexplored allusion not only offers guidance for responding to Lear's exhortation to "Look there" but also resonates within Shakespeare's play through shared themes of apocalypse, kingdom, sight/insight, and the importance of the heart.
