Lear & Gloucester Family Values

2: We started off by close reading Edmund's soliloquy at the start of 1.2, noting his alliteration, hypophora, personification, crescendo-like tone shifts, and younger child psychology. As this took most of the time, we brushed over the remaining of 1.2, looking at Gloucester and his familiar reaction to a child's betrayal (yep, he and Lear hang out) and Edmund's sudden rhyming couplet to organize his machinations.

If absent, you will need to show me your 1.2 notes for your participation points.

Finish Act I for Monday's class. You will be taking over the show, so be ready to share!

4: We continued forward with overanalyzing 1.1. We will finish on Monday -- no matter what! In the interim, read 1.2 and 1.3.
