Act 5 Elizabeth Mourra 1: ALBANY: Our very loving sister, well bemet.- Sir, this I heard: the king is come to his daughter, With others whom the rigor of our state forced to cry out. (Where I could not be honest, I never yet was valiant. For this business, It touches us as Frances invades our land, Not bolds the king with others whom, I fear, most just and heavy causes make oppose. (5,1,24-30) This is relevant because Albany is telling that he is in favor of Lear and Cordillia. And that he supports them in any decisions they make. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">2: EDGAR: my lord!

Quotes on Act 3 By Andres Facusse You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout Till you have drenched our steeples, (drowned) the Cocks.” (3,2,1-5)
 * 1) “LEAR. Blow winds, and crack your cheeks! Rage, blow!

Lear has been thrown out to the storm and is now fighting against it as he has no where else to go.

Wise in our negligence, have secret feet In some of our best ports and are at point To show their open banner.-“ (3,1, 35-38)
 * 1) “KENT. – Into this scattered Kingdom, who already,

Kent is telling the Gentleman that France is about to take over the land of King Lear and that he must help immediately by taking a note to Cordelia to help.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: left;">__Victoria Bendeck King Lear Act 4 Quotes__ <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 81%; text-align: left;">**#1: "A man may see how this world goes with no eyes. Look with thine ears. See how yond justice rails upon yond simple thief. Hark in thine ear. Change places and, handy-dandy, which is the justice, which is the thief?” //Act 4, Scene 6, Lines 165-169//

Lear speaks these words when he is in the middle of a conversation he is having with Gloucester. It means that things don’t look or go as one thinks they are. The justice maker can be a thief as well as any other. The only difference is the power he holds. But who knows, everyone, as a dog that barks can hold the power at some point. **

//Act 4, Scene 6, Lines 180-183//
 * 2: "Through tattered clothes small vices do appear. Robes and furred gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold, and the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks."

During this quote, Lear is still talking with Gloucester. He means that a poor man’s flaws and vices are easier to see, realize and believe than a rich man’s. When you cover up a mischief with “gold” or money it seems as if nothing has happened. This is a great example of life being harsher for the people who have very little money, compared to the ones who can afford anything they want. **

QUOTATIONS

1.) // “I heard myself proclaimed, // // And by the happy hollow of a tree // // Escaped the hunt. No port is free; no place // // that guard and most unusual vigilance // // Does not attend my taking.” (2.3 94) // In this quotation, we are introduced to Edgar, who explains how he had just escaped his death sentence and that there is now a manhunt after him. 2.) // ”Whiles I may ‘scape, // // I will preserve myself, and am bethought // // To take the beast and most poorest shape // // That ever penury in contempt of man // // Brought near to beast. My face I’ll grime with filth, // // Blanket my loins, elf all my hairs in knots, // // And with presented nakedness outface // // The winds and persecutions of the sky” (2.3 95-94) // Here, we find out that Edgar is going to disguise himself as a crazy beggar to hide from those that are searching for him.

3.) **// LEAR //** // “The king would speak with Cornwall. The dear father // // Would with his daughter speak, commands, tends service. // // Are they “informed” of this? My breath and blood! // // “Fiery”? The “fiery” duke? Tell the hot duke that Lear— // // No, but not yet. Maybe he is not well. // // Infirmity doth still neglect all office // // Whereto our health is bound. We are not ourselves // // When nature, being oppressed, commands the mind // // To suffer with the body. I’ll forbear, // // And am fallen out with my more headier will // // To take the indisposed and sickly fit // // For the sound man. // // (notices //// KENT again) // // Death on my state! //    // Wherefore // // Should he sit here? This act persuades me // // That this remotion of the duke and her // // Is practice only. Give me my servant forth. // // Go tell the duke and ’s wife I’d speak with them— // // Now, presently. Bid them come forth and hear me, // // Or at their chamber door I’ll beat the drum // // Till it cry sleep to death.” (2.4 5, Shakespeare) // Here we can find Lear and he has just found out that his noble follower (Kent) has been put in the docks. This of course is a blow to the face in Lear opinion, for Kent represents him.

“LEAR. Upon such sacrifices, my Cordelia, the gods themselves throw incense. Have I caught thee? He that parts us shall bring a brand from heaven and fire us hence like foxes. Wipe thine eyes.” (5.3.24-27) When Lear tells Cordelia how much he esteems her for “sacrificing” so much for him and always being loyal. “REGAN. Sick, oh, sick! GONERIL. //(aside)// If not, I’ll ne'er trust medicine.” (5.3.111-114) When it is acknowledged the Goneril poisoned Regan in a desperate act of rage after she’d found out about Edmund and his affair with her as well as Regan. -Katherine Medina

"EDMUND come hither, Captain Hark take thou this note. Go follow them to prison. One step I have advanced thee. If thou dost as this instructs thee, thou doesn’t make thy way to noble fortunes. Know thou this that men are as the time is to be tender-minded. Does not become a sword. Thy great employment will not bear question. Either say thou’t do’t or thrive by other means. CAPTAIN Ill do’t my lord"(5.3.30-40).

This quote portrays Edmund’s true self and characterizes him as a villain and an evil individual willing to do anything for his own benefit. In this specific example he’s offering the Captain a luxurious lifestyle and money in return of sending Lear and Cordelia to prison and hanging them. This decision determines Cordelia’s and Lear’s future.

"LEAR A plagues upon you, murderers, traitors all I might have saved her, now she’s gone forever. Cordelia, Cordelia stay a little. Ha whas't thou sayst? Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low, an excellent thing in a woman"(5.3.325-330).

In this quote the reader can observe how King Lear expresses his deep sorrow and sadness towards Cordelia’s death. Lear is remembering what an excellent woman she always was and is asking for more time with her. Lear is dramatically impacted by Cordelia’s death.
