1. The dramatic significance of Curan's reference to the impending war between the Duke of Albany and Cornwall is that Curan gives us a sense of Foreshadowing. This means that he is revealing what may be occurring in this scene, Act 2. Also, the news in which Curan gave to Edmund allows him to use it to his advantage in his plot to revenge his brother and father.
2. The trick Edmund uses to completely convince Gloucester of Edgar's guilt is him cutting himself and making it seem as if the "villain" had done it. Edmund uses this to point blame towards Edgar and his guilt for being legitimate which his brother was not.
3. In this scene, the part played by Regan is in a way revealing the plot of Edmund. Due to her conniving personality, Regan sees exactly what Edmund is trying to pursue. She therefore tries to paint a picture in Gloucester's mind but smartly. She does this by commenting on Edgar's personality and uses a sense of sarcasm in her statements.
4. From this scene, we learn that Cornwall's character is basically a person who is an impressionist and a person who seeks favours. He is easily persuaded. He enjoys complimenting people in order to get them to do what he wants or work in his favour.
