But when love is applied and shown, it becomes terrible. The abdicating king had not anticipated that he would turn his back on his eldest and second daughters after rewarding them with that territory and property, and ruthlessly drive himself out of his own country. Before King Lear abdicated, he could make his daughters forcefully express their love through their own identity, and those who expressed their love the most violently on the surface were in fact the ones who hid it the deepest, and the ones who abandoned King Lear with their own hands.

Reflecting the very similar situation between Gloucester and King Lear, he surmises that Cordelia, who is the Queen of France, will lead her army, defeat Goneril and Regan, and restore justice and order.

He used his father's trust in him to try to usurp all power in the family, even to the point of defecting to the enemy and committing treason. When he eventually fails, he constantly repents and tries to ask to be forgiven.
