Someday My "Prince" Will Come

Well, that was surely the most energizing AP Lit class that I have witnessed in a long while! To begin, our close read groups over-analyzed a passage, indicated the iambic pentameter and the lines that did not fit such a metrical pattern, and led us in a fairly smooth gallop. Then, in a moment that will live within my brain for several years to come, Team Goneril debated Team Regan for the hand of Edmund. With a fighting spirit, our spokespeople, Cicely and Brooke, delineated all the selling points and all the detriments that each character has exhibited throughout the play - including specific references to the play, its plot, its lines. To complete the class - and calm us down - we worked on MC passage 3. Friday will begin with Act 5 analysis as we say goodbye to the Lear family.
