Shakespeare's King Lear)The article entitled "Man and the Mind" is in two parts. The first part is totally creative, based upon the personal experiences and findings, acquired from the discussion among peers whereas the second part is purely a critical study which runs on the bases which have been propounded in the previous part.The article is an attempt to understand the mind and man individually. Though the two are inseparable biologically, sometimes they function individually. Now, the mind is conscious or super-conscious, then sub-conscious or unconscious. The piece focuses on such issues. The second part is an exhaustive study precisely of Shakespeare's characters' mind, giving more focus on Lear's mind, including other characters in the tragedy King Lear. The article is an effort to go deep into Lear's mind and understand the things that go on in his mind through his actions which reflect whether his mind is conscious, sub-conscious, unconscious or superconscious
