a result of the impact of his association with Mr. Keating.

How Do We Evaluate Art?
... Experience is
personal and independent. Everyone has different experience, no matter what the
experience is: learning experience, sexual experience, entertaining experience
or love experience. Experience is based on a person's life. Does that mean an
older human has greater personal experience? Theoretically, it is. We see that
we usually find an adult's suggestion is much more ideal than a child's. When
we are judging with our experience, we are actually doing comparison. We are

However, not all of our experienc ...

and die when it suits the tyrants caprice. Brutus is advocates peace,
freedom and liberty, for all romans, which shows th ...

... he was unable to see the reality of Cordelia’s true love for him. Lear’s blindness also caused him to banish one of his loyal followers, Kent. Lear inability to determine his servant’s true identity proved once again how blind Lear actually was. In contrast, Gloucester becomes physically blind but gains the type of vision that Lear lacks. It is evident from these two characters that clear vision is not derived solely from physical sight. Lear's failure to understand this is the principal cause of his demise, while Gloucester learns to achieve clear vision, and consequently avoids a fate similar to Lear's.
