King Lear

1. Regan

   • We'll no more meet, no more see one another: But yet thou art my flesh, my blood, my daughter; Or rather a disease that's in my flesh, Which I must needs call mine: thou art a boil, A plague-sore, an embossed carbuncle, In my corrupted blood. (2.4.29)

   • "To wage against the enmity o'th'air; To be a comrade with the wolf and owl-Necessity's sharp pinch!" (2,4,206)

3. Cordelia

   • "No, no, no, no! Come, let's away to prison; we two alone will sing like birds i'th'cage: when thou dost ask me blessing, i'll kneel down, and ask for forgiveness: so we'll live, and pray and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh at guilded butterflies" (5,3,8)

4. Kent

   • "Come not between the dragon and his wrath" (1,1,121)
