does anyone know how important it is to have specific readings of king lear (eg. if i decide to do a feminist reading and an existentialist reading)? i'm a bit confused as to what is expected of us in this topic. at school, our teachers have really been stressing the specific readings, but i've read some exemplar responses from the standards package, and they don't have specific readings at all. so, anyone want to shed some light on this for me?!
