Using King Lear mind maps

Mind maps on this page offer different ways into the play. Characters in "King Lear" brings characters together, while Themes in "King Lear" connects ideas including loyalty, conflict and madness. Other maps focus on individual scenes, quotations and critical views.

For a starting point, try the character map if you want to see who is included. If you are already working on a particular idea, choose a focused map such as The theme of Appearance in King Lear. It links appearance and reality with blindness.

Moving between formats

Use the branches of a map to follow connections, then look away and recall the ideas in your own words. Return to the map to check what you missed. When you want to practise recalling quotations or plan an essay, switch to the flashcards or notes on the unit page. Choose a map that fits your next revision topic.
