This play is giddy,satisfying,magnificent and a masterpiece.This inquisitive script is so good that the first time it was seen everyone in the crowd was dumbstruck.I am going to talk about the characters,and how they are different also which one gets the land and how.In the opening scene,King Lear wants to know how much his daughters love him,but my he was wrong.

Goneril describes her love as wield and undeniable,for example;”I love you more than words can wield the matter”.But Goneril is dishonest and despicable.She does not care about her father,because she only cares about the land he is offering her.Also she says,”beyond all manner of so much I love you”.First why would she say beyond all manner if she is not trying to over exaggerate King Lear(her father),to give her the land.Secondly why would you say”I love you”,at the end of a phrase,unless you are trying to convenience a loved one for example;your father.Either way it caught the vision of King Lear.

The next daughter was Regan. She was even more devious and spoilt on top that information she is also disorientated,with her family.The reason why I said she is family disorientated is because she insults her sister by saying,”Only she comes too short” just for land.Regan is thoughtless and mischief she only cares about the land,same as her sister,Goneril.Regan ends her speech by saying”In your dear highness love”.Why would she say”highness?”Why would she say

  1. Dominic, you have used paragraphs well here to separate your ideas. You have also selected some nice quotations to support your ideas.

    Targets:

    1) You need to avoid praising Shakespeare for his work. Your introduction is a little gushing – we need to be more critical and factual.

    2) Your punctuation is a little confused. You need to use full stops at the end of your topic sentences.

    3) Every paragraph should have a topic sentence to introduce what you are discussing in that paragraph. It should capture your thinking about each character in this sense and how Shakespeare presents their love.

    4) You need to analyse language a little more. Talk about the meaning of words and their effect on our understanding of character.
