Cordelia is my absolute favorite character in King Lear.
She truly does love her father. Her sisters give fake vows of love while
Cordelia’s is honest. When her father banishes her by marrying her off to
France, she accepts, even though she obviously wishes to stay with her father.
However, my favorite actions of her come later on, but since we only read Acts
1&2 for today, more on Cordelia next week!
King Lear may be my favorite one of Shakespeare’s
tragedies. All the characters are magnificently written and every one of them
is magnificently human. They all have flaws, some which constitute as tragic
flaws. The fool is brilliant and wise, ironically enough. Though most of
Shakespeare’s fools were that way!

PS: Please pray for my family right now. My father’s brother
has a brain tumor and has been given six months. My mother’s father has lung
cancer which has spread to other parts of his body and he is in the ICU right with
pneumonia and breathing problems.
PPS: I commented on Dylan’s post “Mr. King, do you mind?”
Will be praying, Meghan!!
