Acts IV-V Visualizing the Play

Visualizing the Play IV-V

My goal with this assignment is to have you consider what has happened in the middle section of the play and put it all together. I want you to demonstrate that you understand what is happening and why some actions carry heavy consequences.
You are to make a visual that represents what has happened from IV i to V iii. You have several ways to do this:
- Make a comic book style illustration from the play. Feel free to use stick figures, but make sure we can tell whose who.
- Make a graphic organizer or flow chart that shows the action. You can organize it by:

Act IV i
 An old man leads Gloucester to the countryside where Edgar agrees to walk him to Dover.

Act IV ii
 Goneril and Albany fight. Goneril becomes interested in Edmund.

Act IV iii
 Kent and Gentlemen talk about Cordelia.
