1- do you think Edmund from King Lear would be any good at swordfighting/fencing?

...

2- if so (and I know you'll say he is) (because its his type) then how did he lose against Edgar in the final scene?

1- yes

2- Ok so.

Let’s not forget.

That he literally stabbed himself, probably in the arm, a few scenes ago.

He’s literally fighting Edgar with a stabbed arm.

I’d assume stab wounds don’t heal that quickly?

It’s kinda karma, in a way. He stabbed himself to frame Edgar, and then he gets stabbed by Edgar because he stabbed himself. At least that’s how I personally see it.

Hamlet: for my brilliant plan, I’m going to pretend I’ve gone mad.
Edgar: Me too!
Hamlet: cool.
Edgar: *goes outside*
Edgar: *covers himself in dirt*
Hamlet: what...
Edgar: *starts yelling about poor tom*
Hamlet: what are you doing...?
Edgar: *screeches*
Hamlet:
this isn’t what I meant

## coolness level of getting rid of your brother to take his political title

Claudius: 2/10. Very Uncool. I do not support this action.

Edmund: 11/10. Very Cool. I may support this a little bit.

The fact that Edmund leaves with Gloucester when Gloucester goes out to get France and Burgundy and just.. never comes back always kinda bothered me.

Like where did he go? Did he go to start evil plotting? Did he use this time to write The Letter ™? Did he leave because he didn’t want to stick around and put up with Gloucester?

Who knows

Me: has midterms

Also Me: instead of studying tries to figure out what on earth the pre-play dynamic was between Edmund and Edgar

## sudden King Lear realization part 3 I think

4 deaths could have been avoided if Edmund would have just stopped flirting with people for five seconds

(For those curious: those deaths were Goneril, Regan, Oswald, and Edmund)
