sadly mistaken. Criminals in Shakespeare’s King Lear must be punished justifiably‚ for their evil behavior. Only justice and great power can attempt to restore the order of King Lear’s kingdom ruined by the dictatorship of Goneril and Regan. Even if Regan was forgiven for her crimes‚ she would continue her sinister ways. She is the most evil person in the King Lear universe; her thirst for total power through corruption has no end. She even goes on to the extent of double crossing her sister
