King Lear Blog Post Acts I - III

For this blog post, choose three or more quotations from acts I-III which deal with a developing motif or idea within the play.  You can find some of the best lines in the packet of quotations provided to you in class.

In your post, discuss how Shakespeare is developing, playing with, extending or clarifying an essential concept or idea across the quotations you have chosen.  Try close reading: what words are essential to the line(s) and how are they arranged?  Principally, you want to communicate what you think is a central conflict or problematic idea within the play by looking at the language.
