"Sir, I love you more than words can wield the matter, dearer than eyesight, space and liberty" Act1 Scene1
Goneril deceives Lear for her own benefit. She confesses her love and adoration for him above anything else in life but this is just to ensure her portion of kingdom. Her selfish and conniving behaviour goes unnoticed by Lear and he doesn't see her comments as contrived and disingenuous. ]]> 2020-03-20 13:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/missnolan2014/deceptioninkinglear/wish/467813829
