King Lear -- the end of act 3

Poor, poor Gloucester!
Brutally blinded by the batty sisters, and betrayed by his bastard boy... rough night. When I saw this on stage it was CRAZY! Goneril went bonkers and poor Albany was horrified over in the corner-- but the rest was all a kind of mob mentality where you just follow what everyone else is doing because you don't want to be next!
I love the rants of Poor Tom (Edgar)-- he's my favorite character because he is so tender to his father and the king, and he is so innocent of any wrong in the play (like Cordelia). He didn't do anything to deserve his brother's wrath (that we know of)-- and he's willing to risk death by helping is father and the king. Love that guy!
