wow you don’t say
ah yes, that thing people do when they plot a murder. They go and write “I’m gonna kill this guy”. and then sign their name on it. just so that everyone can know who’s doing the plotting
king lear is just an extended psa for why reading other peoples’ mail is a felony
Ive posted about this a hundred times and I’ll post about it again
the fact that edmund knew that if he were to hold a letter, gloucester would demand to read it– the fact that edmund knew that no matter how reasonable of an explanation he could give, gloucester would assume the worst–
edmund and edgar both profiling each other incorrectly
edmund stating that edgar wouldn’t suspect anything because he’s too good and too innocent to suspect someone plotting against him
edgar knowing immediately that whatever’s going on must be someone’s intentional scheme to harm him, but not suspecting that edmund was the one behind it
both of the gloucester brothers being wrong about each other, SPECIFICALLY by their beliefs that the other is a good and honorable person
