Act 2, scene 3
Explanation and Analysis—Lady Luck:
In Act 2, Scene 3, after Kent receives a letter from Cordelia, he settles down for a much-needed night of sleep and personifies his own fate:
All weary and o'rewatched,
Take vantage, heavy eyes, not to behold
This shameful lodging.
Fortune, good night. Smile once more; turn thy
wheel.
