Last Week's Assignments

1.
Regarding the Shakespearean play that you chose to watch over the weekend, I want you to pick a pivotal monologue and analyze it meaning (as if it was one you had to write about on an AP test.) What I mean is; analyze it in terms of how it adds meaning to the play as a whole or to character development. When you send it to me, label the subject SHAKESPEARE MONOLOGUE ANALYSIS

2.
What I will like y'all to do is take another look at Act III. What is the significance with the storm in relation to the story so far? How does it relate to Lear's engagement with Goneril and Regan? Why does Lear go mad? Send me the answers to these questions via email, subject being KING LEAR- STORM.

3.
Act IV, Scene vi: Glouster thinks he is being lead to a cliff so that he can commit suicide. Poor Tome (Edgar in disguise) 'leads' him and pretends that Glouster was 'saved.' Later King Lear arrives, still a bit kooky, but seems to be making more sense. This scene is important to the theme of forgiveness. Explain how. Label the subject KING LEAR - FORGIVENESS
