"thou wouldst hit that"

yet another one of those somewhat intellectual comments made in class.

So I realize I have a lot of catching up to do. And I have a lot to say, but I'll give the abridged version because all of you that know me would say that the abridged version is much more effective in the end. 

So reading King Lear is confusing, tedious, and frustrating. Watching the movie makes it a bit less difficult. I, as a concrete learner, am having a much easier time understanding what is going on. I now can recognize who's saying and doing what. 

As nice is it is to see this after reading, and as awful reading was, the movie is absolutely ridiculous. I find reading more entertaining than watching the movie. And that's saying something if I'd rather read. The movie makes comprehending much easier, but it doesn't do the play justice. 

I realize that my previous statements seem contradictory, so I'll clear that up. The play has a good plot line-- it's fairly interesting. The reading of the play is tedious because of the language it is written in-- it's hard to understand. The movie is horrible, with dreadful acting and costumes, but it makes easier to fathom. I hope that clears that up.
