Seats & Forms of Power 4 (work from home)

Hey there.

I'll give you work from here regularly, with documents and texts and papers and tests. We still should be on schedule, because we are going to finish this last notion, no matter what!

Here's your first activity. We talked a bit about fools and jesters. Just to give you the best of the best, we are going to read a little bit of Shakespearean tragedy : King Lear. We'll read a few passages, but you can read the whole thing if you may.

We'll start with Act I, scene 1. But because it is so difficult to understand, here's a theatrical performance for you, with French subtitles. After you've read / watched the scene, please try and answer the following questions in your notebook:

1. What's going on in this scene?
2. What is the King doing exactly?
3. Can you describe Cordelia? Her two sisters?
4. Can anyone tell the King he is doing a mistake?

We'll carry on on part 2!



Take care and stay safe.
