PLEASE help me develop a thesis statement for KING LEAR! (Quick..before 7am!)

I'm not sure which topic to choose...they both seem hard and confusing..

1. Loyalty is a quality that has to be hidden in in the play King Lear. Why


OR

2. Talk about the images of blindness and sight in the play King Lear. How are these images relevant to characterization, plot and theme?


I need help with developing a thesis! Can someone help me?

The second seems easiest. How does blindness function as a metaphor in the play? What does Lear not see? How does his blindness to reality hurt him?

And if you go with 2, don't forget to focus heavily on Gloucester, whose sees most clearly when he has been blinded by Cornwall.
