    W8B - Review 10

    Uploaded by

    jhonnykalleu
    King Lear laments that even beggars have more than they need and that a man's life is no more valuable than a beast's. He asks the heavens for patience as his daughters stir against him. Rather than weep, Lear declares that his heart will break into pieces or drive him mad before he sheds tears over his daughters' betrayal.

    REVIEW 10
    “O, reason not the need! Our basest To bear it tamely; touch me with noble
    beggars anger,
    Are in the poorest thing superfluous. And let not women’s weapons, water-
    Allow not nature more than nature drops,
    needs, Stain my man’s cheeks! No, you
    Man’s life’s as cheap as beast’s . . . unnatural hags,
    … …
    You heavens, give me that patience, No, I’ll not weep.
    patience I need! I have full cause of weeping, but this
    … heart
    If it be you that stir these daughters’ Shall break into a hundred thousand
    hearts flaws,
    Against their father, fool me not so Or ere I’ll weep. O fool, I shall go
    much mad!”

    - William Shakespeare, King Lear
