ok can I just say
This is once again about ap lit king lear
So. My AP Lit teacher is very into “no spoilers”
And my class is very not into Shakespeare
Which means that they’re all reading King Lear with absolutely no idea whats gonna happen next
(Btw this is the same teacher I mentioned who mentioned that Romeo and Juliet die (bc she assumed everyone knew that) and half the class started freaking out)
Anyway this person in my class today was like “I think Goneril and Regan are lying!!” (In Act 1 Scene 1, when they’re praising Lear)
And someone else was like “but maybe not!!”
And the teacher was like “we’re only in scene 1, how are you making judgement s this quickly??”
And then everyone started shouting out conspiracy theories about everyone and who’s gonna be the antagonists of the play
But like
no one suspects Edmund
It’s not like they forgot about him or anything
They remember he exists
But no one suspects him
(I think some ppl suspect Edgar? Idk)
