The Blindness of King Lear

In William Shakespeares play, King Lear, we shown ways in which Goneril uses her wit to create an boom speech to trick Lear into conceptualise she loves him. This is the Kings first act of dipness in spite of appearance the play, and because he is intimately deceived by his two eldest daughters, Goneril and Regan, this creates a domino make of bad choices; one of these beingness the banishment of Cordelia due to his unfitness to chance on the reality of Cordelias truthful love for him.
