Karten in diesem Stapel (8)
- 1This quote shows us that Edmund wants to have a mock fight with his brother. This is a trick as Edmund wants it to look like his brother wounded him."In cunning I must draw my sword upon you... Seem to defend yourself."
- 2Edmund wounds himself; he knows it will look like Edgar was the one who did it."Some blood drawn on me would beget opinion."
- 3Gloucester has condemned his son Edgar and is looking for him so that he can be punished."Now, Edmund, where's the villain?"
- 4This reveals to us how rash Gloucester is, making decisions in the heat of the moment. We can see the similarities between Gloucester and Lear."Bringing that murderous coward to the stake; he that conceals him, death."
- 5There is no punishment that can match the severity of the crime Edgar has committed. (Regan)"All vengeance comes too short which can pursue th'offender."
- 6Kent is attempting to engage in a fight with Oswald, again showing his loyalty to Lear as he believes Lear still outranks Goneril."Draw, you rascal! You come with letters against the king and take Vanity the puppet's part against the royalty of her father."
- 7Cornwall wants to humiliate Kent by putting him in the stocks, as this is usually kept for common criminals."Fetch forth the stocks! As I have life and honour, there he shall sit til noon."
- 8By saying this, not only is Regan going against her hisband revealing that she is the one in charge, this illustrates how cruel a character she is."Til noon? Til night, my lord, and all night too."
