What do Lear’s change of garments and the music that is played have to do with the restoration of his senses?
He is not used to fine clothes and music, because he has lived a rough life for a while. The sensations are so new that he wakes up.
What is the reaction of Goneril and Regan to the speech made by Albany?
Regan is suspicious, wanting to know why this was discussed, and Goneril says to forget their quarrels and bind together against the enemy.
When Lear and Cordelia are captured, what does Lear say the two of them will do while in prison?
Here I quote from memory: "We two alone will sing like birds i' the cage. /When thou dost ask me blessing, I'll kneel down and ask of thee forgiveness. /And we'll live, and pray, and sing, and tell old tales and laugh at gilded butterflys, /And hear poor roguhes talk of court news, and we'll talk with them too, /Who loses and who wins, who's in, who's out, and take upon 's the mystries of things, as if we were God's spies, /And wear out, in a walled prison, packs and sets of great ones, that ebb and flow by the moon.
Cordelia and Lear are reunited, Albany makes a speech, and Edmund deciedes what to do with Cordelia and Lear if he gets them. Then Cordelia is defeated.
More later,
Bell
