hey guys,
just a quick question on King Lear. Is it more important that we know our own interpretation of the play? Or others interpretations and productions?
Thanks...

 

[illmatic]

you use the productions/ interpretations you have studied to develop your own understanding of the play

btw the actual play is the most important thing

thanks mate.

yeah try and use a bit of both but talk 'bout the interpretations then conclude with your own.. that all depends on the question though

My teacher said it is important to show how the 'creators' of various interpretations reached their overarching rationale from the text. i.e. you need to quote lots and link it to the interpretations and yes it is important to show how you would stage it but as someone pointed out, you show how your interpretations influenced you to form your own opinion about how the play would be staged. good luck. anyone else worried about not getting all their ideas down? i know i am.

haha yeah sephora i'm positive your not the only one!
thanks again for all your help, good luck everyone!
