When one moves past the topical to the deeper meaning of the play, one is moved, as I was in reading your blog. Glouchester in his blindness and King Lear in his epiphany really "see" the hard-won truth at this moment in time. A well-written blog.MaryKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12372685607575546221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231767212836952264.post-5119671858366606212008-10-02T19:18:00.001-04:002008-10-02T19:18:00.001-04:00I agree with you that King Lear's stubbornness led...I agree with you that King Lear's stubbornness led to his own demise. Also, When King Lear is telling Cordelia that "Nothing will become of nothing," but this was not the case when it came down to Lear and Gloucester. They both had lost everything, they had banished the people that loved them the most out of their lives, and the ones that they thought loved them, turned around and banished them only to betray them. I also find the point you made about Edgar and Kent disguising themselves an important theme. Along with Cordelia, who was in France half the play, they were the only honest and genuine people from the beginning, yet they had to hide their TRUE identities in order to save themselves and the people who were most dear to them.Jeremy Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15467135580723677034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231767212836952264.post-24759058985070137162008-10-02T19:18:00.000-04:002008-10-02T19:18:00.000-04:00This is a great summary of the play and many of th...This is a great summary of the play and many of the major points discussed in class. You also did a good job of slightly expanding on some of the things we went over in class. Even after I read the play, I was still able to get something out of your blog.Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071582470288750638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231767212836952264.post-71893202177989473632008-10-02T19:13:00.000-04:002008-10-02T19:13:00.000-04:00I also wonder about Cordelia being the Fool.

I appreciate your blog, it brought some things to my attention that I hadn't really noticed before like the bird mentions. This was my first time reading King Lear and I am sure if I read it again I will catch more things that I didn't this time around.Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00157265720910610932noreply@blogger.com
