2: We started off with an intensive look at the opening of King Lear and its characters' mental states, behaviors, societal beliefs, conflicts, usage of caesura and enjambment or lack thereof, forced rhyme if they rhymed at all, alliteration, finishing another character's iambic pentameter, and more. All of those poetic techniques build the characterization and the eventual understanding of the play. We will finish 1.1 tomorrow and then go into 1.2 - with the famous "b" speech from our knave Edmund.
7: We spent our truncated class on "Daddy" and the poetic techniques that help inform the psychoanalysis interpretation and help inspire us to break down the characters in King Lear, which we will begin tomorrow.
