      Moral Commentary : 

  

 In my view, this tragic story shows the bond between daughters and fathers. In Which Morality is one of the best daughters, they never want property and kingdom and those daughters who only want property and temptation of their father that's why they praising their father. Even the king Lear is happy to praise his daughters, but in reality, they are not really love their father they love only their property and kingdom. Cordelia is one of the youngest daughters who love their father. 

     Personal Analysis :

  King Lear tragic story is very important and reality of this generation. And if I give the my suggestions that Regan and Goneril was misbehave with their father we should not do that. Because father is the king of man who wants the happiness of his daughters. Therefore we should don't disrespect to him.
