Episode description

First real day on King Lear.  Window characters who are there at the end as well as the beginning.  How Prufrock thinks of himself.  But how Shakespeare braids them together, so that windows become mains.  Conflict within scenes and between the groups who constitute the members of separate scenes.  Fairy Tale beginning of King Lear.  Lear sets a test for Cordelia, and she fails in his eyes, but wins in France's, which makes France (and Cordelia) win in ours.
