Lear wheelwright Send a noteboard - 08/03/2011 02:12:49 PM

I was stuck waiting for a train with nothing to read except King Lear, which I had just picked up for my Grade 13 English class. So I read it. It was the first time I had ever just read Shakespear without having a teacher pull it apart line by line as we went through it as a group.

I fell in love with the writing, and it opened up an entire world to me.
