For the class I share with Clare this work is due in on Friday 15 November
 
Write four analytical paragraphs on the presentation of women in King Lear.
 
  • You must comment on the quotations you use
    • Refer to literary features
    • And the effect on an audience
  • Refer to Cordelia and Goneril and Regan
    • Refer to the differences between Cordelia and her other sisters
    • If you can refer to the differences between Goneril and Regan
  • Include contextual references to the status and role of women within Jacobean society
    • You will need to do a little research to do this properly
