Daughter of the Year

Since Lear cannot be called father of the year, it is only fair that we unnominate Goneril for daughter of the year honors. As noted in both AP Lit hours, Shakespeare is not using rhyme as predictably as in his other plays. Characters often go in and out of meter and rhyme scheme to further the complication of their roles, conflicts, emotional turbulence, and social status. And, as I noted in second hour, Lear loves the alliteration when he becomes Hulk angry.

2: We almost finished 1.3-1.5 participation. Tomorrow, the last two groups will share their analysis. If absent, you will have a verbal opportunity to garner your participation points, so make sure you are ready with something to share. No additional readings.

4: We finished 1.1 partner close read, noting much about psychology, poetic elements, and conflicts. To end the hour, you close read Edmund's bastard soliloquy from 1.2, which you will share findings of tomorrow. If absent, you should prepare that soliloquy for participation. Finish reading Act I for Tuesday.
