Abstract: William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616) is considered the greatest author in the English language and one of the greatest figures in world literature. This article aims to discuss the categories of narrative in the work King Lear, translated by Millôr Fernandes (1997). This is a qualitative study, based on a literature review, based on references in the area of literary theory: Candido (1971), Abdala Junior (1995), Barthes (2009), Coutinho (2012), Eco (2012), and Brunner (2014). In order to enlighten the reader, this study is organized into two parts. First, the categories of narrative are summarized, and then the narrative is discussed, establishing a relationship with the categories presented, articulating theory and practice of literary analysis. In King Lear, in addition to the King's madness, the existence of the Fool, an ironic character who constantly uses ambiguous and reflective phrases, reveals the nature of the human being and the rottenness of the servants of the Kingdom and Lear's decomposing family: King Lear loved the flattering speech of his daughters Goneril and Regan. Shakespeare was the greatest connoisseur of the human soul of all time.
