Lear, Act 1 Scene 1

Lear, Act 1 Scene 1

1. Impulsive

   • "Here I disclaim all my parental care, / Propinquity, and property of blood, / And as a stranger to my heart and me / Hold thee from this for ever.
     • • Lear makes a lot of impulsive decisions in Act 1 Scene 1, not thinking about the consequences that his actions will have down the line. Because he is so impulsive, he doesn't fully analyse the situation he is in and therefore his impulsive decisions are not well thought out in the long term.
