we're all in love with cordelia for all her brashness at the beginning with lear. i think maybe crudely and clumsily i've spent a lot of time thinking over lear and so now... >> rose: it's crude, do you think? >> yeah, i think it's probably wrong. i don't think it's true at all. i think young people can imagine age just as... an englishman could imagine italy. i... maybe "lear" will be a production that i do-- when i do it without a hunch. >> rose: when will you do it? >> i don know:. >> re: but is it next up for you? >> no, next up for me is apush kin. i'm doing a new dramatization of that. it's the last thing the great english poet adrian mitchell wrote before he died. and we haven't done itet. and that's pushkin trying to look at russian history very consciously borrowing from shakespeare's histories. i'm looking at russian history round about the same time of shakesare. >> rose: this is the final scene where lear is holding cordelia's dead body.

the man could see how fond i'd become of cordelia-amelia.ed her trixie-- a vulgar name for such a beauty. please, i find it unbearable. he suggested that, if we were to pay him four pounds, he might be willing to let her go. four pounds? but how could he land upon the exact amount we have put by? oh, well. well, it is an exorbitant amount. it would be unreasonable to pay. to spend all of our savings on a dog, it would take some considerable thought and prayer to justify, to even contemplate. we couldn't possibly act rashly and submit to the man's demands. well, we are agreed. we will be sensible about this and not be overcome by sentimentality. heavens. quite a gathering, and it isn't even market day. we're here to see you, miss lane, if we may. it isn't our business perhaps... that's our post office as much as it is our streets and our clouds and our winter. what we mean to say is, dorcas, we wish to show our support. queenie: we intend to march! alf: on inglestone! we have a song for it! ♪ when the roll ♪ when the roll is called up yonder

. >> when leer enters with a dead cordelia on his arms, i hope as a theatergoer this time it will be different. and leer says look, she lives, she lives -- he has to or wants to believe that he can make amends. and he says look there, look at her lips at the eastbound of the play and there are two theatrical conditions. one says leer thinks she is alive and the other, the harsher i like is here is a man that has suffered as much as any human being can and he has been brought from as high, ruler, to the lest level and he points to that little nothing, as leon and cordelia comes back and he is trying to tell her something, that this is all there is, the love between a father and daughter and she is dead and it's a hopeless and bleak and cruel ending which must have shocked people who expecte his kingdom to be restored. >> why did he do it. >> heas already written a superb tragedy, hamlet, before leer and written romeo and juliet. he knows how to create great tragedy but how do you create a tragedy that is even more powerful and profound? i think you actually have to take atory and turn

fairfield, cordelia, just went through american canyon, row tell, -- row del, penol, it looks to be theeaviest. we did pick up .06 in san francisco, 12 / 100th, a point raised and it looks like this is it. if we get more sun it would not take much to get up to 77 which is what we went with today. upstream high pressure will build and that low will really intensify in southern california so it looks like a wind event especially for the sierra. breezy as we head into tomorrow and today partly sunny skies, highs in the 50s, extended forecast, near 60-degrees and tomorrow will be dry as we go into the weekend and things will look rather quiet again. >>> thank you steve. >>> they are boosting their forecast for the holiday sales this year and the national federation is expecting sales to increase 4.8% and that's up since the october forecast. now if the prediction is accurate, holiday sales will hit a record. now delta airlines, they are hiking their tickets for a round trip and all say they have matched delta's fair hike. but southwest has not budged on its prices and that could lead to the

i was talking to friend of mine, mike, 63 degrees all night long cordelia. all night.ou don't see that very often. you really don't. san jose haze around the edge, up at lick observatory, brian sent me an e-mail saying we have gusts to 68 miles per hour up here. although it just -- toss appear and the oakland hills it was 40. now it's down to 22 or no wind at all. mount diablo is almost up to 70, now 56 some maybe things are calming down a little bit. still breezy, blustery day but mostly sunny. there's another system coming right down, and that's going to keep the breeze going i think today into saturday. a break on sunday, then maybe another low develops into -- well, arizona or california on monday to keep the beat good morning sunshine, windy at times or breezy. 60s and 70s. still in the higher elevations we get that northerly wind. so there could be some decent gusts here. i think probably near 70, but just an hour or two ago we had a couple locations that were close. 40s, 20s or 60s on the temps. just san jose 49. and when that wind dies down, it's going to be re

and two of them lie and betray him and the one who truly loves him, cordelia, keeps herself silent. so as i was reading the play, i kept thinking about my mother and myself and i--i--you know, and i thought, 'well, is this going to be vulgar to bring the greatest play in the english language, by common consent, into relation with my own troubles with my mother?' and i thought, 'it's just--there's no law that says you can't do this,' you know? it just depends how you do it. and tha--and that's what that chapter's about, the--the yoking of those two and going back and forth between my personal experience and the classroom and the play itself and the way that professor taylor taught it. now i noticed the students had some trouble with that play because they still--are still subject to their parents' power. they haven't gone through yet that thing we all have to go through, where we have to be the ones to take care, you know, and to make arrangements. and we don't want it necessarily, but the power passes to us in some cases. and it's very difficult. no human being is--is prepared, i th
