King Lear‚ with three diverse daughters surprisingly shares an abundance of characteristics with them. Through Goneril and Regan we see Lear as shallow and dependant on the opinions of others‚ while through Cordelia we see him as stubborn‚ yet also as righteous. Through character analysis of King Lear and his children‚ similarities between the identities of the family will be

There ’s hell‚ there ’s darkness‚ there is the sulphurous pit…" (4.6. 143-144). The reason why the two sisters praise their father in the beginning of the play is justified by their desire to inherit Lear ’s kingdom and supremacy. Goneril ’s and Regan ’s declarations of their great love for King Lear are insincere‚ because their

The superficiality of Goneril and Regan empty words combined with their lack of love for their father foreshadows the events to come. We first see dishonesty in Act1 Scene1 with Lears “love test”. Goneril and Regans elegant yet false speeches oppose what they really feel. Goneril speaks first and says “I love you more than words can wield the matter”‚ the reason why there are no words to express this love‚ is because she feels none for him‚ it does not exist. Regan emphasizes the value of her love;

motifs he used in his play King Lear‚ are undoubtedly connected to Elizabethan beliefs and views. Female sexuality (or the lack of it) is a motif Shakespeare uncovers multiple times throughout the play. Besides Lear’s three daughters Cordelia‚ Regan and Goneril there are no other women in the play. Gloucester‚ Lear and Kent are all unmarried. Yet Lear has this obsession with women‚ or rather with the ungodliness he associates them with. Lear’s rage towards women begins when he demands for an undying

When Goneril states to Regan that‚ "You see how full of changes his age is; the observation we have made of it hath not been little‚" (1. 1.) it is assumed that Lear was once a sane‚ and at least somewhat competent monarch. His senility‚ while seemingly unknown to Lear‚ affects how other characters in the play identify him.
