Essays / University Exam Paper on King Lear: How to get started? Focus? Main points? [5]

Hello,

Thanks for your answer :-) Well, I've already done that. And few of the things that came to mind was anger, rejection, passion, blindness, ignorance and love. The thing is though, I have to focus on passion, because it's the main point in the piece I was given. I just don't know if it's really the important points of the play I should write about? I'm scared that I will miss something...

White snow! (At least in Denmark)

Have a nice day.

Essays / University Exam Paper on King Lear: How to get started? Focus? Main points? [5]

Hello,

I have to turn in an essay (10 pages) on the basis of William Shakespeare's King Lear IV iii 9-23, and discuss important aspects of the play. In my discussion, I can draw to other texts I've read in the course. Also, I have to look up the word 'passion' (line 13) in the OED and apply relevant information and quotations from the entry to my discussion of the text.

The problem:

- I don't know how to get started? Intro-thesis?

- Which aspects of the play would be best to focus on?

- How to make it fluent, coherent?
