In the recent weeks, we have been writing our critical theory essays and working on our presentations to go along with those essays. This week were able to sit and listen to each presentation about the chosen critical theory topic and either the play Macbeth or King Lear. Something I found very interesting about listening to the presentations was the fact that multiple theories were able to go with each play and even the same theories were able to match both plays in an accurate way. I enjoyed being able to listen to everyone's different interpretations of the different theories and listen to how the group thought it was incorporated into the play. In our presentation, we focused on Edmund and how he grew and who he became throughout the play while also focusing on the philosophical aspects of the play. This link includes the character analysis of Edmund throughout King Lear: http://www.shmoop.com/king-lear/edmund.html I think being able to listen to the songs people matched up with the play gave a really good idea of the parts they were talking about. It made it easier to connect and understand what the play was really about and it also made explaining it a little easier.
