AP English Literature Period 2

1. RE-READ Act Four (IV) scenes 5- till the end. Highlight, underline, use post-it notes, anything to help you understand this Act. Then, write down two striking, moving quotes from each of the following characters: Gloucester; Edgar; Cordelia; Lear. 2. Analyze the 4th Letter on your worksheet, Letters in King Lear. Do not forget to summarize the contents of the letter, any theme/topics of the letter; and how the letter moves the plot along! HInt...you have to look and read beyond Act 1, scene five to find out the contents of the fourth letter. Hint #2..look for the character who is the audience for the letter. 3. Write a letter or forgiveness to a clearly defined audience in which you forgive a wrong that they have done to you. It may be something serious or frivolous but forgive them. Use language from your heart, as do the characters in Act IV. If you do not want to forgive, or have no-one to forgive, write a letter in which you ask someone for their forgiveness. Maybe you are always abrupt, maybe you forget something you should not have. Again, the deed may be large or small, but the focus is on asking for forgiveness, or the forgiving itself. Your letter must be at least a page; and you may type it. Due Thursday!
