I've been hearing that Khan quoted Moby Dick's Captain Ahab. I definitely saw all the quotes and comparisons. Reviewers have said that Khan also quoted King Lear. Do any Shakespearean enthusiasts see any scenarios comparing Khan or Kirk to King Lear or even any quotes from King Lear?
shareI have never caught any actual quotes. But there is something of the Lear/Cordelia flavor to the relationship betw Khan and Joachim, and also Lear is about an old man gone mad seeking revenge, so it does parallel Khan in many ways.
It is not our abilities that show who we truly are...it is our choices
very interesting. thanks for the pointers.

It's a review for TWOK by a guy who knows a thing or two about classic literature. In in my opinion, the best review for TWOK.
