1. Complete your modelling of "This is the Excellent Foppery..." or other speech act from Edmund.
2. Please respond to the following study questions: 1. What political
upheaval reaches the castle of Gloucester? 2. Why does Edmund injure
himself and draw blood? 3. How does Gloucester react when he learns
about Edgar's alleged intentions to attach and murder him? What does he
say? How does the conversation between Gloucester and Edmund, following
Edgar's escape, signal a reversal of the relationship that Edgar and
Edmund have with their father? How does Gloucester's expression, "my old
heart is crack'd, is crack'd" illustrate the paralleled between
Gloucester and Lear when it comes to old age and their relationships with
their children?
