I would help you.. cept I'm getting freaked by all these new accounts!

lol, j/k.

Change his value as in what?

e.g.
appreiating family bonds?
loss of power?
social perspective?

p.s. I hope it isn't an acting assessment; personally, I don't think I'm good at drama lol..

hmm.. I'm not sure how its done by delivering the lines..

but if you mean display by costums and sets. I can show you (partially) what i did last year.

"... In this Scene, Lear is no longer the center of attention, his clothes are ragged and torn; he is obviously no longer in a position of power. As he says the line ‘Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel”, Lear would walk to the front of the stage, pick up a fallen tree branch and discard his golden staff and rings. The audience will see a man changed by his suffering, no longer exploiting nature now using what he needs rather then what he wants, a dramatic contrast to the line in Act 2 Scene 4 “O reason not the need!”.... "

this is an edited paragraph from my assessment.. (19/20)

hope it helps with this silly HSC english that all u people are doing! (see my sig :D)
