    HELP!! King Lear - nihilist or liberal humanist?

    If you have looked at productions, then you will find that the LH production (I use Olivier) focuses on Christian beliefs (and uses techniques such as colour etc) while Brook's or Konstinev's (not sure if that's how u spell...) production is black and white and focuses on nothing. I would...

    HELP!! King Lear - nihilist or liberal humanist?

    If I were answering the question, I would go 4 the nihilistic view. Never base essays around quotes, but concepts. I can help u with concepts! If ur gonna discuss the nihilistic view, u must consider 1. Lear himself and the belief that nothing brings nothing (I,i) and towards the end that...

    Does this sound right??

    What lots of schools do is they teach Advanced Maths in the 1st year. Last year, we finished the last topic of Physical World Calculus in Week 10 Term 4. We would have finished it earlier but we did a couple of 3U topics along the way. Yeah, Maths in Focus is really bad. We're using New Senior...
