Lear: A Shakespearean Command Line Utility
Lear is a command line “utility” that you can use to amuse yourself and your friends. Whenever you mistype clear into the terminal, lear will dutifully print out a passage from everyone’s favorite tragedy about a mad king.
This idea was loosely inspired by sl (Steam Locomotive), Fortune, and all of the other weird command line scripts out there.
Usage
To get started, type lear into the console (preferably by accident).
To print a specific passage, use the quote subcommand. It accepts the act, scene, starting line, and ending line as positional arguments. This example quotes lines 7–8 from Act 3, Scene 3.
$ lear quote 3 3 7 8

You can use the contents command to print a table of contents, which will show you which acts and scenes are available, as well as how many lines they contain.
