Who's who in king Lear

PlayGirl

Can someone give me a general "who's who" for king Lear?
I know the story but can never remember who did what, eg who blinded Gloucester, who's house Lear went to first etc..

Any help appreciated cause iv my mock tomorrow and don't have time to trail through my notes again!

implausible

You have a mock exam in the middle of your midterm?:eek:

No we have mocks INSTEAD of a midterm

I always get confused between which sister is married to which man.

I just think
Attorney General, Roman Catholic
(Albany Goneril, Regan Cornwall)

Nice but watch this simple one:

Gon er il - 3 syllables= Al ba ny - 3 syllables

Re gan - 2 syllables= Corn wall - 2 syllables

gets it??

That seems overly complicated, I find it much simpler to just...remember them!

You could always try: Goneril & Albany / Regan & Cornwall - it's called learning...people used to do it in the 70s

Edgar --> Good

Remember Edgar has a 'g' so he is therefore good

Edgar - Good
Edmund - Mean

Goneril is married to Albany - Ga. I remember it cause of Lady Gaga.. G and A..

Renan is married to Cornwall. RC- My name or Roman Catholic!
