Since Goneril had some expectation of having children (otherwise her father's curse of barrenness would have had no meaning), she, and perhaps her husband too, could qualify as "young." Anyone who wants to see what the Q and F look like in comparison to each other should examine Michael Warren's parallel facsimile edition.

To have been banished by a beloved and respected (tautology?) father, to have seen him blinded, to witness his despair, and to be forced to protect him anonymously is to have seen and borne much. While it may be in character for Edgar to play down his own purgatory in the light of his sovereign's, in doing so he would be devaluating his filial sentiments. Moreover, Albany, like Forinbras, Malcolm etc., has taken command, and for Edgar to usurp the closing lines would not be in character. I would consider a more compelling reason to ascribe the lines to Edgar would be the direction of Albany's previous lines to Edgar and Kent. Kent has given his heart rending answer, and it remains for Edgar to give his. The lines could be contrued as such, but in that case he should be obeying the regent and not *the weight of this sad time*.

Is there anything at all in the play that suggests the erotic reading? It seems to me Sebastian might, just might take offense if the language were erotic, since he shows no reciprocal interest, but he does not seem to react other than as he would to a mate. And no one else reacts (or do they?). For hidden eros, you really can't beat the two French lords in Alls Well, 3.6. I'm sure I'll be misunderstood for this posting, but it's hectic and late in the semester, so here goes.

Shakespeare Electronic Conference, SHK 7.0937. Friday, 13 December 1996. From: Hardy M. Cook <This email address is being protected from spambots.

In a week, finals will be over and I'll have some time off. I will be at the MLA Convention in Washington, DC, living in the area as I do, and I hope to see some SHAKSPEReans there and at the Folger Library tea. To all, I offer seasonal greetings and my best wishes for the New Year. This is also the time of year to remind members who will be away from their accounts of the available options: UNSUBscribing and SETting NOMAIL. UNSUBscribing: If you have joined SHAKSPER as part of a class or on a short-term basis or if you will be losing your account, please UNSUBscribe. To do so, send this -- UNSUB SHAKSPER toThis email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. leaving the subject line blank. SETting NOMAIL: If you are going to be away from your account for a time, then SET your SHAKSPER account to NOMAIL.
