Step 5: structure

 

STEP 5: Structuring



Which type of structured sectioning do I want to use?

We are using an episodic structure as we have 6 sections. Each section will have a different structure. Another structure we will be using is narrative. 



What is the definition of this type of structure?

The definition of an episodic structure is, many different sections within a piece. The definition if a narrative structure is that which tells a story. 



Why do I want to use this?

We want to explore the relationships of the main characters and also show how their actions effect King Lear. 



How does it relate to the question? 

Section 1: King Lear's younger years- this is to show King Lear in his younger years when he would fall around, before he met the queen.

Section 2: the three daughters- 



What are the differences going to be between my sections? Do they represent different things- what are they?



If so, how are my motifs/ movement phrases going to be developed to correspond with this development in the structure?
