King Lear Act 1 sn. 5 -Act 2 sn 1

 

 

Act 1 sn. 5

 


King Lear sends Kent, who is still disguised, with a message to Regan. He and the fool talk some, then the horses are ready, and they ride off to the house of Regan. 

Act 2 sn. 1 

 

Edmond sends Edgar packing in this manner: 
Ed: Hark, I hear our father! Quick, draw your sword. (They draw). Run, run! He comes near (sounds of footsteps and horses, torchlight). (Edgar flees). (To himself) I must wound myself. I have seen drunkereds do more than this in sport. 
So Edmond makes his father believe that Edgar seeks to kill him, his father. Gloucester gets mad, and says that he will kill Edgar. Cornwall and Regan arrive at Gloucester's castle, and Cornwall gives Gloucester leave to kill Edgar. 

more later,
Bell
