Banishing Cordelia and Kent because they did not give him as much praise as his other daughters did was arrogance at it's finest. He wanted people around who flattered him, not who truly cared about him and his well being.

Lear struggling with his daughters is a hella good analogy for Lear versus society, especially in Act 2, Scene 4. Lear has nothing left to offer his children in his old age yet still asks for their shelter in the same way an elder in society may do. They look for comfort and care in places where it should be but can still come up with nothing

When Lear realizes that his daughters do not truly love him, he falls into an internal conflict, where he regrets and feels mad for giving away all his wealth to his unworthy and fake daughters.

This drives the plot, making the audience wonder if King Lear would be able to acknowledge his mistakes or even fix those mistakes in the future.

Lear's kids, like I said, are good analogies for society. An entity that is constantly changing yet still harsh in perception and cruel to those in need of help. King Lear knows that society won't help him out in the end so he goes to his daughters for help, only to be brutally reminded that they are part of that same society

Lear realizes his mistake in choosing Goneril and Reagen and begins to question and compare the love that he has received from both of his daughters. He begins to lose his sanity when he compares the amount of guards they will let him have to how much his daughters actually love him. He realizes that his daughters do not love him as much as he thought they did and he begins to lose his grip on reality

As a old King, he should want to divide his powers and influence "equally" amongst his children. At the start of the play we see him entertain that idea and toy with his daughters. How swell that went. Onward, we see the importance of this as this drives Goneril and Regan's plot against him, especially Goneril, as she aspires to absorb the most from his death. The two sisters continuing to the point which we are at now, toy with his logic and psyche.
