The wisdom that each learns is essentially the same. Like Lear, Gloucester comes to sympathize with the downtrodden, who are as much human as the rich and powerful are. Gloucester in his misery cries out to the heavens— Let the superfluous and lust-dieted man, That slaves your ordinance, that will not see Because he does not feel, feel your power quickly; So distribution should undo excess, And each man have enough.
