Before we started watching our movies this week, each group was instructed to create a basis for their theme, then write it on the board. My group choose the marxist theme and decided to focus on the social side of it, specifically differences between social classes and the interactions between them. Making this main idea helped me understand the marxist theme in greater detail. It also gave me set boundaries for the notes we would later take during the movie, which will help us stay on track while writing our paper. When I first started watching King Lear I couldn't find anything that I thought matched our theme. In the beginning the movie focused on the top of the social classes, making it hard to understand the lower parts of society. However, as the play continued, people started gaining or losing power, which made them change classes. For example, Edmund started as a man who had no inheritance to speak of, then through plots and schemes had command of the army. Edmund’s experience made it clear that power has a major influence on which social class you reside in. Without the summary my group wrote about our theme, the notes I took would have been all over the place, making our group’s paper much harder to write. A distinct main idea helped me throughout this week, and will continue to do aid me in the future. https://www.usu.edu/markdamen/WritingGuide/21quest.htm
