King Lear
any input on any of these questions would be greatly appreciated, thanks
1) What does Lear's plan to grant the largest county to the daughter whole loves him most say about his character?
2) Is Cordelia merely suborn when she refuses to praise her father?
3) How does the king of France view Cordelia and what does it say about his character?
4) Explain Cordelia's personality. Outline why she is Lear's best daughter. what is so tragic about her death.
5) How does Edmond betray his father through out the play and what does this say about Gloucester?
6) What does Goneril find so attractive in Edmund?
Here is what I believe:
1) This shows how he is insecure and will believe anything that people tell him, either true or false.
2) No she is just revealing her true character and foreshadows her loyalty throughout the play.
3) It shows that he is a gentleman and that he is not in it for the money.
4) Cordelia is truthful. She tells her father the truth and what he needs to here and choses to ignore.
5) Edmund betrays his father by lying about his brother Edgar. He makes a fake letter that makes Edmund seem like the evil one.
6) Goneril is attracted to Edmund because they are both evil, as in they have both betrayed their father and have similar personalities.
ANY INPUT IS APPRECIATED :) THANKS !
