The story of King Lear makes us question what true love really is. ... Lear and company contradict this ‘obligation’ in many ways. Either through false love, resentment, deceit; King Lear shows just because you gave birth to a child, does not mean that you nor your child are obligated to show any passion towards one another. ... This statement shows no lies in transferring of land from parent to daughter ala Lear and Cordelia, Goneril, and Regan. When King Lear brings up the idea of giving his land up the daughter(s) that can prove their love to him, both Goneril and Regan show no shame in lying. You can actually quote Goneril in saying “Sir, I love you more than words can wield the matter; Dearer than eyesight, space, and liberty….”, as she goes on to say oh how she just loves her father more than words can describe, more than anything in existence, but yet she keeps on speaking of her love. She uses her oh-so-kind words to prove her ‘true love’, hardly. ... In my true heart…”, as she basically confesses her true and undying love in the same category as her sister – much more than any words or physical possessions can ever mean, but that doesn’t stop her from trying, as if she’s just talking to talk – confessing her love over and over, in what supposedly she couldn’t do.
