Confused about King Lear and critics.. (1 Viewer)

[+GriM ReApeR+]

So would critics (eg. nahum tate) be considered as a reading, interpretation or something completely different..?

ok..I just confused myself again :S

Are readings and interpretations the same??

 

[Teighan]

a reading and an interpretation are confusingly similar
a reading = a production (i.e. play, film etc etc)
an interpretation = e.g. family/psychological - the way the original King Lear - written by Shakespeare can be understood/seen 'interpreted'
its difficult to determine between the two because we are supposed to use a reading such as Sir Richard Eyres to understand and write about an interpretation (in this case a family/psychological)

does that make sense??
