Today, we will assign roles and read King Lear Act I Scene 1.
As we read, please add the notes I provide about meaning. I will try to anticipate uncommon word choices, ambiguous meaning, and plays on words, but please ask if you need clarification.
After we have finished, return to the text and consider the following main characters:
Lear
Kent
Gloucester
Cordelia
Goneril
Regan
France
Burgundy
For each of these characters, LOCATE what you believe is an especially telling line that clearly establishes an element of the character's personality or role in the play. (A brief passage -- no more than a sentence or two)
ANNOTATE each of these passages in your online text, providing the following commentary:
a. WHAT does this show about the character
b. HOW does the passage reveal this insight
c. WHY is it significant to the conflict established in the scene so far?
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THESE FINISHED BY THE BEGINNING OF CLASS ON THURSDAY.THIS WILL BE YOUR TICKET TO THE SEMINAR!!1!!
