Notes from 3/22
"The worst returns to laughter." Edgar
Life is so bad all you can do is laugh about it.
Directing the scene where Edgar leads Gloucester up the imaginary cliff is difficult. Language must be used in order for Gloucester to believe that he is actually being led up a steep hillside when in reality he is just being led along the flat earth. Edgar must rely on his words to convince Gloucester that he is actually climbing upwards.
Lear curses women because without woment he would never have existed. This is a great theme within tradgedy. The second best option is to die. The first is to never have existed.
It is also worth noting that the fool has disappeard. Lear has become the fool so the fool is no longer needed..
