AP English Literature The Plague of Tradition period 1

In Act 1, scene 2 Edmund rails against "the plague of custom" which dictates he as an illegitimate younger son, will neither receive the most land, nor his father's title of Earl. What 'plague of custom' do you not like? Select a tradition that may be unique to your cultural heritage or may a generally "accepted" societal norm, custom, view, relationship between groups of people that irks you. Identify (Name) that custom. Tell what it is. Then brainstorm a list of words, associations, feelings, consequences associated with that tradition. Then, begin drafting at least ten lines of why you DONT like the tradition. If you choose, you may in some ways model your writing after Edmund's soliloquy or the forged letter to Gloucester or his last words.... "This is the excellent foppery of the world...." Be prepared to write a bit more in class tomorrow.
