Banished!

Lear has already dismissed two people: Cordelia and the Earl of Kent. Despite Lear's anger, however, we see many references to love in act 1, scene 1. Your homework for tomorrow is the following:

Finish reading act 1, scene 1
Find all references to love
Translate references to plain English
Reflect on the references; identify a common statement about love.
Write a theme statement about love for act 1, scene 1. What is Shakespeare saying about love in this opening scene to King Lear?

**Also, don't forget to peruse the outside reading book list on Edline. You must choose a book by Friday.
