Like, which daughter is it? Cordelia maybe? and who-all is in prison? Both, or just one? I tried to read through the Wikipedia article but had a lot of trouble concentrating...<br /><br />Also, what significance might Blake have found, in this particular scene? what was its context in Blake's life and work?<br /><br />I will try to read back through all your previous Shakespeare posts, but it will no doubt take me a LOOOOOONG time.<br /><br />Thanks so much! <br /><br />SusanSusan J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07676460547965873094noreply@blogger.com
