He is very unnerved by this unpleasant slaughter of his hopes of an ecstatic pastime, and his mind is full of spiteful feelings of his father. The poet use of imagery swimming tears , splashing your bare feet and angling for a moments lead story, shows that the boys tries try to catch a glimpse and of guilt in his fathers eyes and to make his father attract the anguish he is going through.The use of metaphorical phrase ogre towers above you and grim goliath dis dissipation s the father as a very dominant person over the child who is comparatively exceedingly defenseless and vulnerable and it also depicts the father as a negative person and his son unambiguously hates and loathes him. I do agree that the boy finally learnt a lesson from the fathers hood punishment. The father is extremely have-to doe with about the boy and he does not take any pleasure in making his son cry but, even if he is in a great dilemma, he chooses to teach his child a lesson than appeasing him, wavering hidden behind that mask.Play KING LEAR Task 4 In this capriole many partings tend to judge appearance above the reality, illusion want to see, hear and believe what they think it suits them most and they tend to turn a fraud eye on reality. There are also those who present themselves falsely, either to gain advantage or to reveal fair play. The play starts off with Lear, as he wishes to be treated as a king and enjoy the title, but does not wish to have to deal with th e hassle of governing the country. This is mirrored in his test he gives to daughter, where he asks which of you shall we say doth do it us most? (l . 1. 48) the way this question is phrased already demonstrates that he values a flattering world display of love over real love. Despite the fact that Cornelia, Learns favorite daughter refuses to partake in his game causes him to banish her from the kingdom and his close ally Kent. He confuses declarations of love with love itself. He asks only for the appearance, he does not recognize the real love of Cornelia from her single word, nothing. He mistakes Cordilleras monosyllable, nothing as an insult.When he retaliates with the quip nothing will come of nothing and he does not recognize that this truth will apply specifically to him. Instead he values Generic and Reggaes fake sense of fawning over Cordilleras demonstration of sincere sense of filial duty. He believes his devil older daughters sycophantic professions of love, rewardin g them with his kingdom. Lear does not recognize his good retainer Kent after long years of service because of Kens veil. Lear is quick to accept him at face value, without any attempt to gain a deeper understanding of him.Even after reconciliation with Cornelia, Lear mistakes appearance for reality. He believes Cornelia to be alive when she is, in reality, dead. Secondly, in this play we read about the second character that s also unable to establish the difference, in his mind, between what people are saying and doing, and what these peoples true motives are behind their action. His fate parallels Learns when his choice of appearance over reality puts him at the mercy of his dark, ungrateful child.When Edgar, the good son in disguise as Poor Tom, a madman, pretends to lead his blind father to his blind father to his death at the cliff of Dover, Gloucester, through the illusion of death, is led to an acceptance of afflictions of life. Ironically, the truth kills Gloucester when E dgar reveals his identity. Gloucester sees himself other than from the people around him he feels that he is a royal, respected man, holding some power and status. Learns evil daughters, however, decide that Gloucester is a traitor by advising Lear to escape to Dover that is their reality.For Lear and Gloucester, they allow the deception of their children to destroy them they value people and situation by appearance, and they have perceptions for themselves which are not realistic. Similarly, we leant that a person cannot accept anything at a face value but must search for deeper truths and learn to recognize and avoid deceit. Task 3 Play KING LEAR Of all the plays villains in King Lear, Edmund is the most complicated villain character in this play. He is morally bad, evil and he is responsible for causing many harms and wreaking destruction upon intimately many character in this play.He is a perfect schemer and an unscrupulous character that highly portrays his forwardness to sei ze any opportunity and does anything to attain his goal. In act 1, scene 2, line 1-22, Edmund delivers soliloquy expressing his dissatisfaction with societys stance toward bastard. He bitterly resent his legitimate half-brother, Edgar who stands to reveilles that society has denied him. In his soliloquy he talks of his risky letter which he will use to discredit his brother and deceives his father to place Edgar in a bad light.His serial treachery is not merely self-interested it is a conscious rebellion against the social order that has denied him the same status as Gloucester legitimate son Edgar. Now, gods stand up for bastards Edmund commands, but in facts he depends not on divine aid but on his own initiative (1. 2. 22). He rejects the nuisance of custom (1. 2. 3) that makes society disdain him and dedicates himself to nature(l . 2. 1) that is raw and unconstrained existence. After his betrayal of Edgar and his father, Cornwall, Reggaes husband, becomes like a new father to Edmund, as he also has an opportunistic bent.Edmunds affairs with Generic and Reagan tie the two subplots together very well, although the relationships are not presented in detail, and they do not exist in the descent material for Edmund, Plexiglas. He does not appear to have as much affection for the two sisters as they do for him, and although he was effective against his father and brother, he cannot effectively play the two sisters off against each other It is notable that when he speaks to Generic and Reagan, he does not speak well, whereas in other situations he speaks very well this is partially due to his trying to conceal his involvement with both of them.Edmund is the sisters lust object, rather than true love, although he himself does not realize this. The death of Oswald plays the main role in the disclosure of the truth and this highly results in the death of Edmund. In act 4, scene 6, after Edgar injures Oswald, he hopes to prevent bloodletting by unsealing his let ter than putting to death him. This letter actually contains evidence that Generic and Edmund are plotting to murder Albany. Edgar is revolt at this discovery against the life of Albany he hands him the letter at right time.Albany charges Edmund for capital treason and he challenges him to a duel. He calls forward any person to testify that Edmund is a traitor, the disguise Edgar enters, they fight and Edmund gets mortally wounded and he shows a flicker of weakness, and he eventually dies repenting to his villainy. Even if Edmund succeeds in deceiving his brother and betraying his father, he never finds true love. The community always regards him illegitimate. He is rare visible in peoples eye (2. 1. 1) look, sir, I bleed he wants his father pay attention on him and gives him the love he need. The two older daughters of Lear regard him as their lust object rather than true love, although he himself does not realize this. I do not find Edmund as sympathetic character because through out this play Edmund is not kind to other characters and he does care about their problems. He is not showing benevolence towards Lear when he is not storm all alone without any shelter and he finally orders the killing of Cornelia without showing sympathy to Learns mental condition.
