The salute shows some sort of respect that Lear has for the other people in the scene, but mainly Warrington, as he asks him to take over his kingdom when he dies and to carry on building the wall. It’s also ironic because he is talking about his daughters betrayed him and he is saluting to there betrayal because they are trying to break down the wall he is building and let in the outsiders who are trying to attack them.

In our depiction , we had 1 person saluting to 4 other people standing in a line looking away from him. We wanted the audience to interpret the disrespect that person saluting was being given by  the other 4 people. Different people may find a different meaning for the depiction depending how the interpret it.
