Essay Questions
(choose one)
1. In novels
and plays certain parallel events are significant. In an essay, describe the
major similarities in a sequence of parallel or recurring events in Lear. Do
not merely summarize the plot.
2. An
effective literary work does not merely stop or cease; it concludes. Some
critics believe a work that does not provide significant closure is an artistic
fault. However, a satisfactory ending is not always conclusive in every sense;
it may be ambiguous and uncertain and require the reader to abide with or
adjust to the ending. In an essay, discuss the ending of King Lear and explain
precisely how and why the ending appropriately or inappropriately closes the
work.
3. In Great
literature, no scene of violence exists for its own sake. Choose a violent
scene in King Lear and in a well-organized essay explain how the scene
contributes to the meaning of the complete work.
