Duke of Kent
And your large speeches may your deeds approve,
That good effects may spring from words of love.
O!!! how right the Duke of Kent is. Goneril and Regan have pulled a pharisee moment. Like the pharisees of old that used to let other people know that they were fasting, disfiguring their faces and complaining of hunger, their reward was the appraisal of men. Goneril and Regan got the appraisal of their father.
Cordelia well put the fact that actions speak louder than words. She would rather act before she speaks. Unfortunately she has a "pharisee" for a father that cannot realize that the love between them is the strongest.
It makes you wonder what kept King Lear a king as long as he was.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
