    This paper attempts to clarify the significance of land in King Lear, especially the process of being "landed" and "unlanded". We propose that the ownership of land imbues the characters of King Lear with authority over others. Lear and Gloucester become "unlanded" when their land ownership is transferred to their children, resulting in the loss of their authority. Whereas Goneril, Regan, and Edmund become "landed" as they acquire the kingdom"s lands, which subsequently makes them possible to establish themselves as the rulers of Britain, determined to viciously defend their newly acquired lands against all who originally possessed land. We will present a detailed analysis on the transformation of the "un-landed" Goneril, Regan and Edmund into "landed" powers and all that comes from land. Although Edmund’s rise from bastardy to legitimacy can be classified differently to that of Goneril and Regan, their shocking ‘revolution’ overlaps, which in the end leaves us with an indelible mark of King Lear’s tragic end.
