Term+2+King+Lear



We are exploring the concept of characterisation. This is the crafting of a character through:


 * 1) Descriptions
 * 2) Relationships
 * 3) Dialogue
 * 4) Stream of consciousness
 * 5) Actions

We will analyse extracts from Shakespeare's King Lear and focus on Lear's character. Then we will move to the film Ran and view those scenes that feature Lear. You will be composing an essay on characterisation.
