King Lear's Analysis

Analysis of Scene III, ACT Five of King Lear:

Note: It is difficult only give an analysis about a scene but I am going to do my best.

When the scene began, Edmund instructed his captain to take Lear and Cordeliaaway to prison and to kill them, and make it look like suicide in a letter. But later in the end, mortally wounded, Edmund does regret his actions and attempts to undo some of the hurt he has caused, Here I shall say Edmund has a transformation. However, up until that point, Edmund is put as a villain, a very bad one.

Lear's transforms in his joy at his reunion with his daughter forgetting his status as a prisoner: "He that parts us shall bring a brand from heaven, And fire us hence like foxes. Wipe thine eyes; The good years shall devour them, flesh and fell, Ere they shall make us weep. We'll see 'em starved first." (Act V, scene iii lines 22-25) The joy inj him at the reunion with his daughter outweighs any other concerns hemight have. Finally, King Lear, Edmund Gloucester, and Cordelia dies. The scene ends it on a note of relentless drama, in this scene death seems to be a essence for the play.

Character analysis:

Cordelia - Lear’s daughter , that's the only the scene gives me.
Goneril - Lear’s daughter has a relationship with Albany. Goneril is jealous and treacherous.
Regan - Another daughter of Lear with similar behavior like Goneril.
Gloucester - It is not a character, but is named to be Edmund's Dad.
Edgar- A not very important character, elder brother of Edmund.
Edmund - The villain of the story, brother to Edgar.
Kent- A nobleman friendly to Lear.
Albany - A noble person with honor that closes the act recommend Kent and Edgar to govern the land wisely.
