Can someone please help me out? I have a 5-page report due on 'King Lear' in two weeks and I have no idea what I'm doing.

My thesis is 'Love, honesty, deceit, and death are all major aspects of King Lear. Though the characters vividly portray these motions, they are oft confusing and unpredictable.'
I have to work off that and so far I've several convincing pros and cons of the book, but I need help desperately!
PLEASE HELP!
