I haven't anyway, except for the "I would offer you my coxcomb for ypur crown" when speaking to Lear, but that's about it. I amn't looking for your quotes, just a general idea Cheers, MISS fufureida:)

A typical intro would be: There are many redemptive forces in the play King Lear. Throughout the play there is much suffereing inflicted on both Lear and Gloucester. However, these characters are redeemed by their children and in Lear's case, his loyal servant. Then go on to talk about how Lear does evil in the play and beings suffering upon himself and gloucester too and then talk about how edgar and cordelia save them
