(points to the window) Grace: Yeah, my mother would have a fit if I were to show up in the home soaking wet. Cordelia:(in a soft and caring tone) Not to worry, I’m sure she will

Mam, the burger you gave me, has far too much ketchup, I-I’m done I just, I… I just need a refund or something! What if I called your manager and told them, then woul- Cordelia: shut up. Just shut up. Miss, I replaced the first burger because it had to much sauce, now you want me to get you you a new burger, because the one I replaced doesn’t have enough. I’m just doing what I’m told ok, and what… I get paid like… pfftttt $7.50 an hour and I have to put up with annoying snobby people like you..

On king Lear one of the characters that shows a very sacrificing nature is Cordelia, Lear's youngest daughter. We experience this at the beginning of act one when Cordelia, even though she knew it will cost her her share of lands and her place by her father's side, chooses to be honest with her father instead of flattering him for his lands like her sisters did. She sacrificed her status and wealth for standing up for what she believed in, and even when she was banned for her father's kingdom it

To be told she was just some pawn in a larger game of chess sent Cordelia into a rage. Not only was it insulting to her every action but it was revealed to her, by her mother, in front of her very own children. That awful, old bat of a woman could not control the filth which seeped from her mouth.

Unlike her barbarous sisters, Goneril and Regan, the youngest daughter Cordelia is the most pure, honest, just, uncorrupted. In the Bible, the white baby lamb, representing its pureness and innocence is offered as a sacrifice to God, and contrasting to the Bible, Cordelia in King Lear, is the metaphor

Although Cordelia appears in Act I, Scene I and disappears until Act IV, she has an enormous impact on the play as a whole. It is generally acknowledged that the role played by Cordelia in King Lear is a symbolic one. She is a symbol of good amidst the evil characters within the play.
