I'm doing it, but you might find more help at the English (Advanced) forum.

You are comparing values predominantly.

is ne body comparing and contrasting the marxist and tradiational views/interpretations of the play?

No, mainly Aristotelian (I can never spell it properly), Feminist, and Tragedy of Ordinariness or a critique of power.

Aristotelian? is that (for example) how Gloucter talks about the stars and them having disastrous consequences etc etc.? And Edmunds different views and the values of the audience associated with these particular parts of the play

I don't believe so, no.

There are notes on the front page of BOS

You will find them useful (esp. the Lear ones if you haven't studied them yet, and/or have no idea about values/readings/productions).
