anyway Albany’s just jumping at the opportunity to call Edmund a slur
to be fair Edmund is very much sleeping with his wife. but to be unfair if Albany wasn’t so uncool maybe his wife wouldn’t be so against sleeping with him
Gloucester: hey Edmund what’s that letter you’ve got there?
Edmund: oh it’s nothing dw about it
Gloucester: ok son 👍 I respect your privacy 👍
Edmund: …😒😒

Goneril: hey dad can you send away your knights? They’re wrecking my house
Lear: you want me to get rid of my knights??
Goneril: yes please
Lear: well then of course 👍 I’m sorry they wrecked your house :(
Hey, I'm looking for a specific post and I scrolled so far back without finding it. I'm starting to worry I'm looking at the wrong blog 🥲 so I have to ask, did you make a post that was like "how to stage king Lear so Edmund is 100% more sympathetic"? (great post if you did, it lives rent free in my head)
YES that’s my post!!— and it’s definitely the one piece of tumblr content that I spent the longest working on!!
I think I wrote it around 4 years ago, so by now I find half of it cringe (as anyone would find things they made when they were younger to be)—but the sword symbolism part is something I stand by so strongly.
I really want the different characters to have distinctly different swords that are noticeably passed from person to person as Plot happens—
