  4. "Go in with me. My duty cannot suffer

  5. "Sir, I thought it fit,To send the old and miserable king,To some retention and appointed guard—Whose age has charms in it, whose title more—To pluck the common bosom on his side,
    An turn our impressed lances in our eyes
    Which do command them. With him I sent the queen,My reason all the same, and they are ready,Tomorrow or at further space t' appear
    Where you shall hold your session. At this time
    We sweat and bleed. The friend hath lost his friend,And the best quarrels, in the heat, are cursedBy those that feel their sharpness.
    The question of Cordelia and her father
    Requires a fitter place."
    Edmund talking to the captian
    Act 5, scene 3 lines 46-60

  10. 1. "5. Howl, howl, howl, howl! O, you are men of stones:
    Had I your tongues and eyes, I’d use them so
    That heaven’s vault should crack. She’s gone forever!
    I know when one is dead, and when one lives;
    She’s dead as earth."

    Lear says this to Cordelia as she is dying in his arms.

    2. "As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods;
    They kill us for their sport. "

    Gloucester utters these words after he has been blinded by Cornwall.

    3. "2. Thou, nature, art my goddess; to thy law
    My services are bound. Wherefore should I
    Stand in the plague of custom, and permit
    The curiosity of nations to deprive me,
    For that I am some twelve or fourteen moonshines
    Lag of a brother? Why bastard? wherefore base?

    Legitimate Edgar, I must have your land.
    Our father’s love is to the bastard Edmund
    As to the legitimate. Fine word—“legitimate”!
    Well, my legitimate, if this letter speed,
    And my invention thrive, Edmund the base
    Shall top the legitimate. I grow; I prosper.
    Now, gods, stand up for bastards!"

    Edmund gives this soliloquy right before he tricks his father Gloucester into believing Edgar is villainous.

  11. 1. Lear: " What art mad? A man may see how this world goes with no eyes. Look with thine ears: see how yond justice rails upon yond simple thief.

    2. Regan: "Faith, he is posted hence on serious matter. It was great ignorance, Gloucester's eyes being out, to let him live.

Lines 8-14

    3.Edgar: "The weight of this sad time we must obey, speak what we feel, not what we ought to say.The oldest hath borne most: we that are young shall never see so much, nor live so long. Act V Scene III. Lines 325-328

    I return those duties back as are right fit:
    Obey you, love you, and most honor you.

    To love my father all."
