King Lear- an interesting play to be read...

After finishing Pygmalion, Dr. Edwin started with a new play which is a Shakespearean play entitle King Lear… in my mind I could image the play goin to be tough as i know that shakespearean language is not easy to understand.. The book itself is a great help indeed as it is a student’s edition. It provides with meaning of difficult phrases and a has a short summary on each page. It helps me a lot in getting to understand the play. Besides that, Dr. Edwin also has given us the overview of what the story is all about and the imagery that occurs along its way before we read the book. Furthermore, the pop quiz that he held proves to be a great help as it has help me to understand better the play… Dr. Edwin also have guided us by reading the play and explaining to us the significant parts which actually helps me a lot in enhancing my understanding of the play. …Overall I could say that with Dr. Edwin’s explanation of the play I actually kinda liked the play very much… it’s an interesting play with lots of ups and downs. It is also full with virtues that I could gain from it such as never to be too proud and arrogant with the power and authority that you have as the wheel of fortune will play its part. The saying goes, what comes around goes around. This could be seen clearly in Lear as he was too arrogant and proud that in the end he actually falls to be just a mad old man. I ‘m now looking forward to read the last play which is ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’. I wonder what is the play all about… the title itself looks appealing to me, I wonder how’s the story line will be….
