Cordelia, Lear's favorite daughter, says to him: “Why have my sisters husbands if they say they love you all? » (King Lear, Act 1 Scene 1 Line 109) Cordelia knows that Goneril, Regan and their husbands have just told Lear that they love him just to flatter him and give them part of the country. Cordelia sees reality and how her sisters lie to her father. In fact, Lear quickly realizes that Goneril and Regan are cheating him when they chase him from their castle. “And speak of it again, my lord. Nothing more with me” (King Lear, Act 2, Scene 4, Line 293). Lear needed a place to stay with his soldiers but Goneril and Regan tell him to reduce the number of soldiers or he can't stay. Lear realizes that Goneril and Regan lied to him about their love for him and that Cordelia was right, which leads him into the storm and makes him regret what he did to Cordelia. In the end, after Cornwall goes out Gloucester's eyes, Regan tells Gloucester that Edmund was the one who reported him to Cornwall. Thus Gloucester finally knows the truth: “O my follies! Then Edgar was mistreated” (King Lear, Act 3, Scene 7, Line 111). Afterwards, Gloucester is punished for not trusting his own son and for not even asking Edgar if it was true that Edgar was trying to kill him.
