King Lear Act 3 sns. 1-5

 Lear tells us that he is a man “More sinned against than sinning.” Is this true?

Somewhat, but he created his problem by setting his daughters in power. He also did not listen to Kent's advice.

 

 

 Gloucester tells Edmund about the contents of a letter he has received. What is in the letter? 

The letter tells how Lear will be set back on his throne, and is very incriminating to Gloucester.  

 

ACT 3 SCENES 1-5

 

Lear is shouting at the storm, and Kent looks for him. Kent finds him, and leads him to shelter. There they find Edgar, disguised as Poor Tom, a wandering madman. Gloucester finds them and tries to comfort Lear and lead him to shelter. Edmound tells Cornwall about the letter, and Cornwall makes him earl of Gloucester. Cornwall goes to find Gloucester and Lear.
