Leear: Quotes + Readings? (1 Viewer)

[Shadowulf]

im having trouble finding quotes for certain readings or parts of the play which show different aspects of each character or event, so if people could help me with this... ill just write up a few of the ones which im having most trouble with

of course, if anyone else wants help to find a quote or something to help them prove a point, post here as well


First of all, im trying to find the best quotes that show Lear losing his sanity
also, anything which may sound like Goneril and Regan dont have cruel intentions behind thier actions towards Lear (sounds crazy? oO")

Best quotes to show:
- Lear treating his daughters at loyal subjects rather ths his daugthers.
- the clash between Goneril and Regan, over Edmund.
- each daughter's reactions to gaining power or wealth. => Any change in the daugthers throughout the progression of the play

Parts that show best the themes of Power/politics and blindness

sorry if this post is a little messy, but im kinda busy with other stuff ive fallen behind in..

any help greatly appreciated =)

 

[*miranda*]

my thoughts are a little hazy - but the clash over goneril and regan over edmund is best seen in the scene between regan and osmund or whatever gonerils man servants name is - she says something like i'd be better suited to edmund....

the scene before lear is found by cordelias search party shows lear insane - i'm not sure about quotes of him loosing his sanity, perhaps some of the moments with the fool? and on the heath in the storm?

probably not much help.....I need to re-read the play...damn studying it in term 4

 

[emuthegreat]

I'm even more screwed . My assessment is in week 7 and I haven't read the play yet .

Anyone else as lazy as me ? So I don't feel as screwed .. lol

 

[Shadowulf]

@miranda: thanks for the ideas, i'll re-read those parts of the play =)

@emuthegreat: haha, well not particularly for king lear, but i havent read Brave New World yet... at we studied it last term ahaha >.< youd imagine how bad my assessment was...

 

[emuthegreat]

Haha ! Once again I'm lazy . I haven't read BNW either But I'm extremely happy with my rank, considering i don't do anything lol . I have a feeling King Lear will screw me up .

 

[Shadowulf]

haha damn, im lazy and my ranking really shows it...
the people that i teased for being FOB last year... well they get to call me fob this year even if i was born here XD

 

[emuthegreat]

lol, Yea, nobody thought I'd be ranked 4th this year because they are try so hard whereas I'm too lazy . I just read a few essays and online summaries of the texts and bullshit in exams lol .

Hope you do good in King Lear, I think I should learn the characters names first lol We can do it !

 

[Shadowulf]

woah nice, 4th... my rankings a 3-digit number roflmao =P
haha out of curiosity, do you go to local school, private, or selective??
theres not many people i know at a selective school that can be lazy and get a ranking in the top 5... maybe 1 or 2 people only lol

haha i dunno what BNW is about =(
alright my fellow bludger, lets aim for a top band 5 or low band 6 XD

 

[emuthegreat]

I go to local . I purposely didn't try for selective because I wanted to go to the High School I am at now, all my primary school friends were going . I regret that now, even when my mum tried sending me to private lol .

I've made heaps of bad decisions concerning my subject choices, lol my parents never pushed me so I never cared about school .

BNW ?? Oh, I have like heaps of information that I've gained from tutoring . LOL, if you need help, don't be afraid to ask

 

[Shadowulf]

haha damn.. >.< didnt think of changing schools after year 10?

haha yeh parents who arent pushy.. well they can be good and bad
my parents were pushy back when i was in primary, they full sent me tutoring and crap, thats how i got into a selective school in the first place

problem is.. have you ever had that feeling, that goes something like "hey i did really good in that test, i feel smart now, im gonna bludge" feeling??
well i got that since getting into a selective school, and well my marks plummeted over the past 5 year haha
not very easy to get back on my feet since i was tutor reliant in my primary years =S

lol haha thanks for the offer, ill get back to you closer to the holidays.. i got exams all this week =S english speech: tomorrow lol

 

[emuthegreat]

Nopes, by Year9 I went from a Straight A student to going downhill dramatically . Year10 was my worst academic year ever, resulted in parent meetings etc lol . And it was too hard to leave my friends behind lol .

My parents are pretty leninent and non-asian haha ! my dads more serious about education but my mum doesn't want to push me academic wise, she doen't believe in all work no play, but I regret slacking off.. it's so hard to get into the habit of studying

lol Nopes, Because I don't normally get good marks . It used to be "as long as I pass, I'm happy". But this year, I started seeing 80+%'s even a 92 in legal . I just get all surprised, and everyone else does too.. because I'm just THAT bludgy . lol

It'll be cramming for me (Y)(Y) lol .

 

[Shadowulf]

you have a worst academic year,..? mines are all equal worst from year 8 till now... just feel likg breaking the trend now heh

lol my dad pretends to be pushy with studies... but all he does is annoy the hell out of me oO"
lol i regret being such a bludger oO" i NEVER did any work in years 7-11

lol as long as you pass eh.... i didnt pass my exams in year 11 >.> and i got 15/40 for my physics last term.... orz so pathetic lol

this year im only seeing good marks in japanese and 2unit maths wohoo, everything else needs a lot of working on hehe

 

[emuthegreat]

LOL . Yea, I realised I had to stop bludging, so I started paying more attention once year12 hit . Now I lost motivation again lol but 3/5 subjects I'm top 10, so I can't complain .

Are you japanese ? one of my bestfriends jap I guess that's why she's effortlessly pawning it . lol . 2U maths ? OMFG I HATE MATHS ! my worsttttttt subject, I failed half yearlies I bring shame upon asians .

 

[Shadowulf]

haha damn... i was studying for my 2unit exam tomorrow.. and um.. oh yeah i told you about my annoying dad..
he asked me if i wanted a mandarin and now ive lost the studying mood LOL so stupid hehe

nah im not jap lol, i just incorporate a lot of jap into my daily life lol. like i get home, email friends from japan.. my internet browsers default language is set to jap as well lol... i originally thought it wouldve been good practise, but i dont even read the news on msn japan

haha no worries, at least you do maths... theres an asian at my school who dropped maths altogether heh =P if you need help with 2 unit feel free to ask.. in exchange for english stuff lol
just jkin, ask anytime, itll be good practise for me too lol

*is it just me or is this thread a bit off topic? *

 

[emuthegreat]

lol my 2U is in week 8, arg ! I'm aiming for 80% .. gonna be hard . The last time I got 90+ in maths was Year8.. I used to love maths .. lol

Oh wow, that's hectic . I used to learn jap year7-10, and I know like a few words only . But I was ranked like top10 due to cheating in every test (Y) lol .
Oh, if you love jap you should watch Hana Yori Dango, best jap series I've seen lol .

I would have dropped it, but I was too scared . I regret not choosing general though, would have made my life easier lol . Cool, you maths genius lol . No worries, due to our help we'll ace the hsc .

LOL I reckon, It's like .. Who's King Lear ?

 

[Shadowulf]
