As one of Shakespeare’s four great tragedies, King Lear stands as a classic masterpiece firmly in world literary history. The Lear story goes through many retellings, among which Jane Smiley’s A Thousand Acres proves to be a successful one. Though exhibited from different perspectives, the two stories have something in common—the ironies arising from father-daughter conflicts. In the way of an intertextual comparison, the paper analyzes the ironies from father-daughter conflicts with an aim of digging out deep meaning from behind in a new angle. It finds out that the ironies shared by the two works help to increase the tragic atmosphere and reveal a lot of truths underneath the lines.
