@lindsey_lit To me, Kent seems like the type of guy to constantly follow someone no matter how badly treated they r and the Fool is the type to say the harsh truth to make the person realize their mistakes #laylit19
Do u think Lear would punish Kent once he finds out about his disguise? Or do you think he would ask for forgiveness since he was betrayed by his two daughters? #laylit19
@rajaslit While it was an interesting approach, I found the whole adaptation to be unnecessary. The omission of lines would have been ok if the acting wasn't over dramatic #laylit19
@keana93372957 Regan is the most manipulative. Whereas cordelia clearly expresses her relationship w/Lear & Goneril expressed her desire to control her father, Regan in the film seemed to toy with lears heart by constantly switching sides between goneril and lear #laylit19
@JanicheLit Yea I was surprised too, since Goneril seemed more emotional than Cornelia when both were insulted by Lear. I guess she was jealous of Cordelia being favored by Lear #laylit19
@nicole_littttt I guess it's cuz Lear felt like he was no longer in control over her, just like Henchard felt no desire to love EJ when he found out she wasn't his true daughter #laylit19
@chrisperezlit@LitMeghan That's what I thought too! The irony of Lear being more of a fool than the Fool. Maybe the Fool should be the new ruler instead. 🤔#laylit19
@BridgetEilers Goneril and Regan remind me so much of the step sisters in Cinderella, where they do anything to make their younger sister suffer while they try to rise to the top #laylit19
I think it's ironic that the very hands that Lear used to raise Goneril and Regan are now being bitten by them when they are planning to reducing him to nothing #laylit19
@nikhildlit @brookeaplit I agree and while reading more is important in developing writing, there is only so much one can learn and experience in books and traveling can offer more insight #laylit19
@gracelit1 I think no matter what, there will be certain basic themes that will be used forever. However, the constant changing style of writing is something that can affect a persons interpretation of the theme #laylit19
@elaineku19 For me it was Double Dutch bc he could describe something as simple as playing double Dutch into something complex. The last line perfectly summarized and made me realize that double Dutch could be very beautiful to watch #laylit19
@brookeaplit The part where the narrator could not get rid of the remains of the bank in his suitcase showing the futile attempts to get rid of the prejudice and stigma blacks are faced against #laylit19
So I lost my earphones today, which Elizabeth bishop would say, "accept the fluster" and "[it will not] bring disaster," but every high schooler knows that it's a death sentence without it #laylit19
