Dear Sean:

Re: Shakespeare's treatment of Cordelia's death, see (1) Edmund's
issuing of the death warrant to the anonymous Captain (5.3.26-40), (2)
Edmund's "my writ / Is on the life of Lear and on Cordelia"
(5.3.249-50), (3) Lear's "I killed the slave that was a-hanging thee"
(5.3.279).

Yours--Jim Lusardi
