King Lear - FEMINIST INTERPRETATION (1 Viewer)

[sly fly]

Hey pplz, i have an assessment and im sposed to talk about the feminist interpretation of king lear and back it up with like a feminist based production or critic or film. Anyways i cant find any feminist productions other than 'Queen Lere' (i cant really find any notes on this production, duz anyone have any?) and i cant find any critics (i know the name of some but i cant find info anywhere on what theyve said about the feminist interpretation). So if anyone knows of a good site with info of a feminist production and a site where i can find notes on it nd stuff, or a site with a feminist critics notes on it or a feminist film of king lear or sumthing along those lines that would be really good.

Oh and also, if anyone has good notes on the Christian interpretation with a theatre production, film or critic to back it up, that would also be much appreciated. Thanx alot...

Nope didnt work...........i put in some random info about the 'Queen Lere' production in my speech which is due on wednesday. But i got the info from the resources page on this site. The thing is, im meant to submit a bibliography lol and i cant exactly say i got the info from other pplz past hsc notes. Arghhh what do i do!

Didn't your school give you feminist readings?

yeh only like 1 article though, which has no reference. But the problem is, ive taken random stuff about the feminist interpretation from ppls notes on the resources page and included for example, stuff on the Queen Lere production, in my speech. But im sposed to hand in a bibliography, and i cant coz i got em from ppls notes coz i couldnt find any stuff lol!

So anyway i need references for the Queen Lere production and for stuff that Barbara Millard has said.

I'm going to watch that production at Newton on my birthday.

Also, the answer to your question is 73.

we watched that production last year, i thought it was shit cause i had no idea what king lear was about.. and then our teacher yelled at us when we had no notes, we didnt know what we were looking for!!

um.. sly fly, have u tried searching for Queen Lere on google or something? i dunno if anything will come up, but i spose its worth a try

 

[sly fly]

73??? what r u talking about timeandtide? Yeh ive tried google and other search engines aswell. Cant find anything!

Lol i think i should explain my situation a bit better. Anywayz because i was doing this interp for my speech, i had to bak it up with like a production/critic/film etc. Anywayz i searched nd searched and couldn't find anything. Finally i looked up on the resources page of bos and found some notes on King lear feminist interp. But unlike most others, the feminist ideas were actually baked up with the queen lere production which is exactly what i needed. So i was like score! It had stuff on stage techniques, removing of animal imagery etcc Anyweayz i included these things in my speech even though i havent seen the production coz it was my last option. The dilemma is.....i need to hand in a bibliography with the speech. It would be good if i could talk 2 the guy who submitted the notes and ask where he got all his info from, but i dont think he's a memeber anymore. And its too late now 2 change the speech. So now i dunno what 2 put in my bibliography!!!

With the sites, one of em is about mobile fones nd stuff (cuttheatre.com) lol and the other is just brief stuff on the production, but nothing bout techniques nd stuff so i cant use it in my bibliography. (i saw that one earlier aswell) So yeh lol Thanx for ur help.......if anyone knows where i can get technique info on the queen lere production, that would be GREATTTTTT!

P.S BEFORE WEDNESDAY!

A mercy post.

Look up "Feminist readings king lear" in google.

A notable one is the Kathleen McLuskie reading.

right well.. apologies, was only trying to help.. well anyway peoples, thats the website and i myself got some notes off there

im sure u could write in your bibliography www.boredofstudies.org resources page - thanks to (notes creator) as long as you didnt copy what was written word for word. Maybe you should go see the production even though ur speech will have been done already. You might use it in the hsc exam or even in your trial

just a suggestion

 

[sly fly]

Yeh i know but i cant find a reference for kath mcluskie either, only off ppls notes lol. Thanks for ur help muse i was just trying 2 explain the situation better lol. Hmm i might do that after all.
