King Lear's - some questions

can you help me with my grammer and spelling? thanks

Good afternoon!

Here are my suggestions:

"1) In the beginning of the play the reader is able to witness Lear's obsession with obtaining control. He focuses more on the power he has as a King than concentrating on his responsibility as a father. Lear desires his title of King, but doesn't want to fulfill the obligations of a King. In a sense his character was portrayed as being overly prideful, but that pride gradually progresses into an emotional weakness. In the beginning, it appeared Lear didn't value his daughters, especially Cordelia, who has such an undeniable love him. His character prioritizes the appearance of love, but doesn't feel the need to devote himself to another.

After noticing Goneril and Regan are in a sense personifications of evil, Lear develops into an insightful human being. He ends up cherishing Cordelia, where he would rather live in prison with her than have the authority of a King. It becomes obvious that Lear's tragic flaw was his arrogance. His egotism blinded him from noticing how loyal Cordelia was too him. Lear was more concerned with his self-importance rather than forming a strong bond with Cordelia. Therefore, Lear's tragic flaw was his pride, which made him blind to the love he had for his daughters, since he had to overcome his egotistical ways to realize Cornelia's worth.

2) Lear;s sympathetic value emerges when his ego is crushed by the ignorance of Goneril and Regan. When Lear ends up realizing he is no longer a commander but in a sense a follower, he becomes (Poignant means able to move others' feelings; is this what you meant? It doesn't fit very well; how about "benignant" or "merciful" to explain how he softened as a person.) . After observing his daughters' actions, he is able to take into account the way he was prideful. To see Goneril refuse his request when Lear asked for shelter, allowed him to see how it feels to be belittled. Lear hid behind his thrown so he could appear as powerful, rather than sympathetic. But when he was hit with reality, he comprehend that being prideful results indevastation, but when your able to show devotion, happiness surrounds you. Very nice comparison.

3) Lear likes the idea of being a father and being a King, but he is not fond of the duties that come along with the title. His pride causes him ignore the differences between the obligations of a father and the reasonability of a King. To him they are both equally weighed, since it makes him look better How?. When his power of being a King is taken away Let's rewrite this to something less wordy, like "When his title as King was stripped away...") Then what? You haven't finished this sentence; we have the "who", now we need the "what". , and given to Goneril and Regan. It allows him to see that the authority of a King cannot compare to the beauty of being a father."

Good job!

Good evening :)

Sure! Let's see what we have:

"After noticing Goneril and Regan are in a sense personifications of evil, Lear develops into an insightful human being."

"His pride causes him ignore the differences between the obligations of a father and the responsibilities of a King; to him they are both equally weighed. Lear is power hungry, and in a sense prideful. Being a King allows him to obtain supremacy over his people, which he adores. On the other hand, having the duty as a father makes him look conscientious and responsible."

"After Lear decides he no longer wants to be King he asks his three daughters, Reagan, Goneril, and Cordelia to tell him how much they truly love him. Goneril and Cordelia tell Lear a fallacious answer in hope to gain power. They inform him how much they adore and love him. However, Cordelia lets Lear know that she could not tell him how much she loves him because she has no words. This results in Lear becoming very upset with Cordelia. He ends up dividing the land in two, giving Reagan and Goneril each half. When Lear's power is taken away and given to Goneril and Regan it allows him to see that the authority of a King cannot compare to the beauty of being a father."

"Throughout this assignment I was constantly questioning and quizzing myself about what I thought I had learned from Shakespeare's play, King Lear (Check your reference style for the format of this title; some styles require titles to be in italics while others require quotation marks.) . Lear valued his title as King, but he forgot to cherish his responsibility of being a father. After completing this assignment, I was able to gain a better understanding of the true meaning behind the play. There were few decisions I had to make. In the beginning I was unsure if I wanted to do this key question, since lesson 15 was very interesting. After reading Is This the Promised End, I decided this lesson would be engaging. It was hard for me to grasp the concept behind Joyce Carol Oates' essay; when I was able to comprehend the entire meaning, it allowed me to see how Lear was portrayed as a strong character yet he was emotionally weak. He let his pride and ego get the best of him. This caused him to miss out on the chance of getting to know Cordelia, his only daughter who loved him for him, and not his power."

"The overall assignment gave me a better understanding of the developments of each character, especially Lear. It also helped me to remember certain parts of the play, and about certain events that transpired. In the beginning of the play Lear was insensitive and harsh, but at the end he was subtle. He was able to understand how his love for power restrained him from being a good person. From witnessing Lear's mistakes, I was able to understand that in life you shouldn't strive for a materialistic lifestyle, since ones wealth doesn't truly define them as a person. What defines an individual is their ability to love and to care for others. The moral and theme of the play basically taught me not to respect someone because of their status in society, but instead on how they treat me as a person."
Your introduction and conclusion here looks good; I only changed a few minor things.

Good job here; each paragraph illuminates deeper analysis of the work.
