King Lear
Texto del Guión Gráfico
- In the first scene of Act I of the play, King Lear gathers his three daughters, as well as Earl of Kent to make an announcement. Lear explains to his daughters that he will be dividing his land into three pieces. Before he does this, Lear asks that each of his daughters individually express their love for him.
- After Lear makes his request, he receives a heartfelt and passionate outpour from each of his first two daughters, Goneril and Regan. When it comes time for his third daughter to speak, Cordelia refuses. To her father, she says, "my love's/More richer than my tongue" (Shakespeare.I.i.79-80). Lear disowns Cordelia out of anger. Kent tries to convince Lear that he is making a mistake, and Lear banishes Kent.
- Edmund, son of Gloucester, feels that he is mistreated in the family since he is a bastard son (born of wedlock) and his brother Edgar is not. Edmund forges a letter from his brother and Gloucester insists on reading it. The letter is made to look as if Edgar is attempting to plot against his father in order to eliminate him and that he needs the help of Edmund. Edmund tells Edgar that Gloucester is angry with him. Edgar believes there is someone plotting against him.
- King Lear is staying with his daughter Goneril and brings his knights along with him. Goneril complains to her steward Oswald about the mens' riotous behaviour. She goes on to ask Oswald to be ignorant of both the knights' and Lear's requests.
- Kent is devastated by the fact that Lear banished him from the kingdom. In order to come closer to Lear once again, Kent disguises himself and plans to convince the king to let him be his servant.
- While King Lear is with his knights, Kent approaches in his disguised form. Kent explains that he is prepared to be a dedicated servant to Lear and that he is "A very honest-hearted fellow" (I.iv.28). Lear does not see past Kent's disguise and obliges.
