Shakey was having a bad week when he wrote this one, damn.

[@Omashu2425]

He was in quarantine during a plague outbreak. Not a good week at all.

[@Edward-ep6zr]

I've been rewatching this video for an essay and noticed that almost all their heads are shaped like the first letter of their names :O

[@SchoolingOnline]

Good eye, very few people notice that! Thanks for leaving a comment, hope you enjoyed the lesson!

[@krakowski-ruch-katolikow]

All of them, actually - if you look carefully and consider various 'calligraphic variants' of the letters used. Gloucester stumped me for a while... And Cornwall actually is an exception (hint: his hat).

[@rashimsalehrahman5172]

Suiri????

[@reginawolfe8664]

I’m glad I’m not alone in thinking this I thought I was crazy

[@rachaelborn1139]

This is by far the best summery on here thank you x

[@SchoolingOnline]

Wow, thank you, that's great to hear!

[@lawofaverages5373]

I always thought that Cordelia didn't say her bit because daddy had dished out the goodies to the sisters after each speech ??? And as the eldest sister always took precedent so it left Cordelia with very little too 'grovel/flatter' with' even if she felt the need to.... Or at least that was our old Eng Lit teachers take on it ??????? Correct me if I'm wrong. Then again Shakespeare interpretation is like a pick'n' mix these days !!!!

[@aliciaj3406]

4:53 Now I'm going to have a somber, slow version of "All Star" stuck in my head, thanks! And a completely genuine thanks for helping me out :)

[@ananyahs02]

[@joey_ba_doey4553]

ive been watching these vidoes for a long time and i JUST noticed the heads are shaped like the first letter of their name, bravo

[@johnnyhamrzz2698]

4:48 the funeral music tho😂

[@NathanielWinkelmann]

So, I am an absolute novice, but shouldn't it be ancient Britian Since the Angles were not around yet? Like I know it is just myth but isn't this story supposed to take place thousand of years even before Rome invaded?

[@sorzin2289]

I thought It took place in 600 ad

[@user-qm8hb6mr2b]

You lost me at Ragan. Who was this Shakespeare guy? Doesn't he make fishing rods?

[@mads651]

WHEN DID THE GAUGING OUT EYES THING HAPPEN, AND I THOUGHT POOR TOM WAS POOR TOM

[@ananyahs02]

Edmund and Cornwell gauges out the eyes if i am not wrong And Poor Tom is Edgar🥲

[@dnaann1867]

No-one gets a happy ending,how could you know that

[@fatzm548]

can someone tell me if this is a good drama to read for school I gotta choose between this or merchant of Venice 😟

[@fairielikescake]

i think merchant of venice is a better read! :)

[@fatzm548]

@@fairielikescake we ended up choosing king lear (its v boring LOL) but thank you!

[@fairielikescake]

@@fatzm548 anytime and yeah it's really boring xD

[@regressiveparty]

Who is "Leah"? There's King Lear, but there's no character named Leah

[@aisyahshofi]

it's just the narrator's accent, it makes it sound like they're saying "Leah"

[@Woopersolo]

It’s called an accent

[@anayaamjad5107]

GUYS THIS IS A BAD SUMMARY I THINK ITS MISSING SOME POINTS 1:16

[@Gray-lm7qb]

Thank you. I like how fast and to the point your videos are. However I hate Shakespeare and this is a dumb story. But thank you on behalf of my grades.

[@jerrybarnes6611]

Why do you keep pronouncing "Lear" as "Leah"?

[@thestoryschoolqld]

That's how Australians pronounce it.

[@TheNamche]

Just a terrible summary.

[@sillyguy444]

it’s under six minutes what did you expect lmao, there’s more out there no need for negativity
