Cordelia Alternate Ending

Cordelia's confession of love is not as convincing, but she is the only one telling the truth. Soon it is revealed that the two older sisters only wanted power. Contrary to their speeches of love, they take the opportunity as soon as Lear has nothing but a title, thinking nothing of insulting him, firing his knights, and putting his servant in the stocks. Cornwall conspires with them to rule Britain. They are the opposite of what they pretended to be for Lear. However, Cordelia is the one Lear renounced. She displays her love for him at the end of act four when she tries to nurture him back from his mental collapse. King Lear gave everything to those who wanted to destroy him and cast out the one who loved him because he could not discern between the lies and reality.

Sammy looked around for his girls once again and as he was thinking where they were and what they were doing a loud car horn interrupted his thoughts. He turned around and couldn’t believe what he saw. It was Queenie. She was smiling at looking directly at Sammy. He wasn’t sure whether it was a dream or not but he wanted this moment to last forever. Sammy decided to approach Queenie even though he didn’t know what to say and how to act. The closer he was, the more scenarios of what would happen next, were crossing his mind. Then all of the sudden, the pleasingly sweet voice said:

Guinevere sat on the birthing bed with her legs bent, leaning forward, gripping her knees as another contraction took hold. She reddened and piercing shriek tore from her throat while King Arthur paled. Watching his wife suffer like this was torture.

“No, no, NO!” Tomm screamed desperately as he clawed through the air in a pointless endeavor to reach the bedpost. He should have seen the signs. Usually, by this point he would have found a safe place to hide. “I’m sorry! I’M SORRY! I PLEASE PUT ME DOWN! I’M SORRY!”

Aurelia’s mother, an intelligent woman, looked around the room. There were no visible marks on his body. While Aurelia’s mother did this, Aurelia opened his shirt. His chest was bruised where his heart should be.

He stood up like he was ordered, girting his teeth, biting back any harsh words he wished to spit out. He pushed his hair out of his face, gathered his and his master's effects and followed the wizard. Jessime spent a lot of time in his head, thinking about various things, dreaming about being a free man at an inn with many women of all races around him only to have his lovely fantasy shattered by being fucked by his -unwilling to admit out loud- handsome master. Jessime struggled at the thought, only finding himself eyeing his master up and down. A mix of resentment, self loathing and sexual frustration ate away at him.

8 p.141-158, Ivor Morris takes a somewhat similar, but mostly different approach to the attribution of the fault of sending the kingdom into such a chaotic state. He opens the article by saying that “whatever view is taken of King Lear, the responsibility of its tragic events must rest in the main upon Lear himself.” Lear has acted foolishly in banishing the one daughter in whom he would have been able to put his full trust. In fact, Lear seems to be the only person who is oblivious to the mistake he has just made. Lear’s reaction however, is also partially Cordelia’s fault because she did not react properly to her father’s but also her king’s request, thus provoking him. Morris discusses the possible reasons for such a response from a daughter who very clearly loved her father. One possibility is that she is simply not good with words and was unable to speak under pressure. However, it would be difficult to justify her defiant answer that she has “nothing” to say to improve her response. Second, Morris suggests that the magnitude of her love for Lear may have caused her to belittle it. Last, he suggests that it may come from “a passionate devotion to truth.” Morris still believes however that at least some of the blame should fall on Cordelia because there are greater things at stake than the preservation of truth, specifically the retirement of her father. Morris eventually says that he believes Cordelia’s

The next morning Trudy woke me up by tapping me on my shoulder. My eyes fluttered and my mind immediately thought back to us being sister cousins and my eyes popped open. “Wake up sleeping beauty. Did you forget about making breakfast this morning?” Trudy said as she flopped down on my bed. Breakfast was the last thing on my mind, as I looked at Trudy like she was crazy. Half of her hair was braided, and the other half wasn’t. Before I could say anything, Trudy said, “Kandee, I had a crazy dream that you came into my room and told me that we are sisters. Anyway, what time are you going to help me finish braiding my hair?”

On a farm was this small cabin where was a women giving birth. Miles away you could hear her screams with the lights flickering on and off. When the baby was born Elvira, a beautiful brunette with blue eyes, named her son Kenneth. However, minutes later he stopped breathing and Elvira only knew one way to heal him. In her religion if someone was sacrificed to save another, the person in need of help will be revived and the sacrificed were granted eternal peace.

Isadora Silverman took another deep breath. She could sleep for a week and not be happy. Twenty hours of intense labor had drained her of any energy she had. Every muscle in her body ached. She shifted to accommodate a particularly sore spot on her left hip.

Our first impressions of Cordelia is that she's a honest, loving and virtuous daughter. Some might argue that she takes her honesty too far during the love test when she refuses to flatter her father. However, when we see how horrible her sisters are we sympathise with Cordelia. Goneril is a forceful and direct character along with her sister Regan who is the weakest of the two, mean and

“I am.” Princess Diana said. He nodded and led her into the room, just like he did with the two previous family members. She laid down on the area she was supposed to and put her head through the hole.

Many of the traits that Cordelia embodies and actions that she performs are all a part of the male fantasy. In Lear’s mind Cordelia is going to take care of him for the rest of his life. If Cordelia takes care of him, he will always have control over her and she won’t be able to have a life of her own. Lear states that he is looking forward to spending time alone with his daughter in a very confined area,”We two alone will sing like birds i’ th’ cage” (Shakespeare 130). Failing to open up to others can be either an advantage or a disadvantage depending on the circumstances. Cordelia experiences the advantages of failing to open up because she is not characterized solely based on her lack of emotions and feelings. Rather than being characterized by something so miniscule, she is characterized by her ability to help her father without harming others in the process. While being society’s obsolete woman she is also able to be a mix of society’s modern view of an ideal woman. She does not lash out at anyone while there is chaos happening all around her Cordelia is able to remain

The interaction between Lear and his daughter, Cordelia, is one of the most tragic elements of the play.
