Lear and His Daughters - Character Notes
Some director's thoughts on the characters of Lear, Goneril, Regan and Cordelia.
Lear is a man of massive emotions, uncontrollable passions, dictatorial, uncompromising, magnificently charismatic, a brilliant politician, an iron-fisted leader, totally opinionated, egotistical, dogmatic, and overbearing. He inspires in some enormous love, devotion, respect and loyalty; in others, loathing and contempt.
Goneril is utterly ruthless, totally compulsive, paranoid, devious, vitriolic. She is never at peace, never satisfied,
Another terrible nomination.
William Barr helped establish mass incarceration. Now Trump wants him as attorney general.
