Oh, Lear, how you love alliteration, caesura, and inconsistent iambic pentameter to indicate your descent into insanity, parental disappointment, and power-tripping monarchy. During class these last two days, we have focused on the main speeches of 1.1, specifically picking out the psychological motivations and --- THE EVENTUAL APPEARANCE OF RHYME AND REGULAR IAMBIC PENTAMETER! It does exist! Since we made such a big show of finding rhyme, forced rhyme, alliteration, caesura, and iambic pentameter, I suppose that means you should be looking for it too!
On Monday, we will finish (5th) and start (2nd) our super close reading analysis of the "bastard" soliloquy by our buddy Edmund, our least favorite son of the year. And, we will look at 1.3-1.5, which you will have ready to go for class!
