king lear is just an extended psa for why reading other peoples’ mail is a felony

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
