The List

~King Lear~

The first thing that comes to my mind is; the language. The most difficult use of language that I need to comprehend. When I first being force to read this text, it absorb all my spirit away. Why??? Because i can't understand half of the text.
Then, in order to make sense of the story, I try to find the summary of the story in the internet. It does help. But, the best thing is, my lecturer had explain further (and precise) about it in the class. He had been really patient with us since this is our first encounter with Shakepears' text. Thanks a lot. The first task that he had instruct us to do is: make a list of the characters who get killed in the play. It took me hours to figure it out then come out with this list.

Characters who get killed in King Lear.
1)Cornwall
2)Gloucester
3)Oswald
4)Regan
5)Goneril
6)Cordelia
7)Edmund
8)Lear

p/s: That's all I can find in the text. Is there any character that I've missed?
