Dear students,
I hope you enjoyed the play last Friday. I think all of you told me that you did. (I hope you were being as sincere as Cordelia). The text adaptation, the performance of most of the actors and the stage design were very good, I thought.
One of my favourite aspects was the idea of 'reason in madness': Both Gloucester and Lear need a long time to recognise the truth. When Lear is mad he is able to understand the world around him and when Gloucester is blind he is able to see better than when he had eyes. Here are a few aspects you can comment on: parent-child relationship, pride, ingratitude, reality/appearance, old age and death...

For your information, there's an interesting film based on King Lear but set in a typical rural American community. The title is A thousand acres (Heredarás la tierra) (1997) and it stars Jessica Lange, Michelle Pfeiffer and the gorgeous-looking Colin Firth, among others.
Nothing will come of nothing. Speak again.

I enjoyed a lot!
It was a very interesting play. I also think the scenery and actors were very good. Moreover, it was an incredible experience to watch the play so close that it looked we were inside the play as other characters more. I was so frightened of some sword or “eye” was thrown to us without control.
I think this play is atemporal since it deals with human features that are always present independently the time we live in. The play reflects the problems that are always associated with man: egoism, power, ambition…
It’s incredible our society is so advanced to reach extraordinary achievements but unfortunately we haven’t known control these innate features that govern our accions.
I recommend this play to everybody!!

Thanks for your comment. I agree with you on the contradictory nature of humankind: we can do both terrible and wonderful things.
Let me correct a couple of things: 'scenery' is related to the idea of landscape or view, I think what you mean is 'stage design'. We use 'selfishness' rather than 'egoism' and '... we haven't been able to control...'instead of 'haven't known control'.
Thank you for your corrections.
I have other doubts that I'll ask you in class.
Like you hoped, we enjoyed the play a lot. It's a lesson about the relationship between the members of a family, and you and me, anybody, can have suffered something similar in our own family. It must be very sad that you realize your more close relatives love you only by which you have (money, power,...) and you can give them. What a pity! Sometimes is better you don't have anything because "of nothing you can't give anything".
I saw "Heredarás la tierra" and I liked it very much.

Hi Ana
At the beginning of my comment about King Lear I wrote the word "like" instead of "as".I think this last word is the correct, but I wait for your corrections.Thank you
Isabel
A nice contribution, Isabel. yes, AS is the right word
Let me point out some structures (do not worry, they're above NB2):'It must be sad to realize ...' 'sometimes it's better not to have ...'. What about: your more close relatives, can you improve that?
