So I think my king lear thesis statement is to weak. Well, actually I would like to get a B on the essay and I think its a C worthy essay...
Through out the play King Lear, The ignorance King Lear portrays to his daughters leads him to an unhealthy perception of his family, himself and everyone else in the play. Due to this notion, although he seeks salvation in the play, he cannot obtain his redemption.
Idea's? anything I could possibly change... LET ME KNOW PLEASE!!! (its due next friday smile )

Well, why does King Lear's false impression of his daughters prevent his redemption?
Also, how does King Lear's portrayal of ignorance lead him to his unhealthy perception (which could also be considered ignorance)?
The notion of what?
I am going to play toughass English critic here. The first sentence feels kind of tautologous, aka it doesn't go forward but sort of refers to itself. King Lear's ignorance leads him to ignorance.
Does King Lear's initial splitting up of his realm lead to his daughters working hard to -further- his blindness to their greed? Is there a point of no return for him? And why? As for why King Lear cannot claim his redemption, I'd look up hubris and tragedy. It might give you some leads.
I don't know how far you've gone in your paper, but if the topic is on blindness you definitely want to pull some quotes dealing specifically with that issue. Not just the whole pulling out of eyes, but plays on words that deal with the issue too. It's been a while since I've read King Lear, but I'm sure there's something.

well after re-vision (and that fact i got an extra week to write this) I have decided to take it in a new direction. Basically I'm going to write about if you strip a man of all his possessions, he goes mad but in turn is left with a truer understanding of life.
I think i can argue that better
