Aristotle did not specifically write about King Lear as it is a work by William Shakespeare. However, Aristotle's theory of tragedy, outlined in "Poetics," emphasizes the importance of a tragic hero, a plot with a beginning, middle, and end, and catharsis for the audience. These elements can be applied to analyze the themes and characters in King Lear.
