King Lear Act 3

• Blow winds and crack your cheeks! Rage, blow!


  Lear in the storm scene
• Here I stand your slave, a poor, infirm, weak and despised old man


  Lear talking about how he has lost all his power
• I am a man more sinned against than sinning


  Lear believing that he has done nothing wrong
• Come on, my boy. How dost my boy? Art cold?/ I am cold myself


  Lear after noticing that the Fool is feeling the effects of the bad weather
• Most savage and unnatural

  Edmund ironically describing himself when talking with Gloucester
• That which my father loses; no less than all: The younger rises when the old doth fall


  Edmund talking about taking his father's power
• Oh, I have taken too little care of this


  Lear to Edgar about he has mistreated the homeless during his reign
• Take physic, pomp. Expose thyself to feel what wretches feel


  Lear talking to wealthy, saying they should understand what the poor go through
• Whom the foul fiend vexes


  Edgar's phrase for talking about the devil
• Those pelican daughters


  Lear talking to Edgar about Goneril and Regan
• Keep thy foot out of brothels, thy hand out of plackets, thy pen from lenders' books, and defy the foul fiend


  Edgar talking about what Poor Tom has done that is very sinful
• I will keep still with my philosopher


  Lear calling Edgar something ironically
• True or false, it hath made thee Earl of Gloucester. Seek out thy father is, he may be ready for our apprehension

  Cornwall giving Edmund his new title
• And I'll go to bed at noon


  The Fool's final line
• How light and portable my pain seems now when that which makes me bend makes the king bow


  Edgar is saying that his problems are insignificant to Lear's after watching him suffer
• Out vile jelly!


  Cornwall as he removes Gloucester's eye
• I am tied to the stake and I must stand the course


  Gloucester shortly before he is blinded
• "O my follies! Then Edgar was abused. Kind gods, forgive me that, and prosper him."


  Gloucester realises that Edgar has been innocent the whole time
