King Lear

• appropriation - the word is used to describe the act of treating Lear as a family drama, where it's presented in its time more as a political drama. suggests that there is a more precise usage of the word in the theory.

• point made - parents don't get mad at their children in lear.

  • past and misremembering. (is this a theme? - changeability, betrayal, blindness and lies, but also social rewritings of what happened?)

  • remember that this is also a hit piece against seemingly harmless trusted familial advisors
