Salma asked this question about King Lear (Shakespeare Made Easy):
Did anyone else like Edmund?
Kristina Cabral Well, he is a bastard. And people born out of illegitimacy somehow are being despised and shunned by the outside world from the moment they were born;…moreWell, he is a bastard. And people born out of illegitimacy somehow are being despised and shunned by the outside world from the moment they were born; think what they'd even feel on the inside. So yes, I did like Edmund: one for a fun fact that I was picturing Edmund as in the King of Narnia and he was just absolutely gorgeous...anyway I just think that anyone evil, as long as they bear a purpose, has a right to be that way. If they learn their lesson, thank you very much--if not, an unescapable tragedy. (less)
