Ever heard that quote before? It comes from the Shakespearean play King Lear. The quote was said by Edmund to Edgar. "The wheel is come full circle" is a metaphor. It means that everything is finally here; all the parts are finally assembled into a full circle of a wheel. Here's the full conversation:
Edgar:
The gods are just, and of our pleasant vices
Make instruments to plague us:
The dark and vicious place where thee he got
Cost him his eyes.
The gods are just, and of our pleasant vices
Make instruments to plague us:
The dark and vicious place where thee he got
Cost him his eyes.
Edmund:
Th' hast spoken right, 'tis true.
The wheel is come full circle, I am here.
Th' hast spoken right, 'tis true.
The wheel is come full circle, I am here.
King Lear Act 5, scene 3, 171–175This quote was also featured in the bestselling YA novel: Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare!
