    Can someone give me a general "who's who" for king Lear?
    I know the story but can never remember who did what, eg who blinded Gloucester, who's house Lear went to first etc..

    Any help appreciated cause iv my mock tomorrow and don't have time to trail through my notes again!

    Nice but watch this simple one:

    Gon er il - 3 syllables= Al ba ny - 3 syllables

    Re gan - 2 syllables= Corn wall - 2 syllables

    gets it??

    You could always try: Goneril & Albany / Regan & Cornwall - it's called learning...people used to do it in the 70s

    Edgar --> Good

    Remember Edgar has a 'g' so he is therefore good :p
