Cordelia
Lear’s youngest daughter, disowned by her father for refusing to flatter him. Cordelia is held in extremely high regard by all of the good characters in the play - the king of France marries her for her virtue alone, overlooking her lack of dowry. She remains loyal to Lear despite his cruelty toward her, forgives him, and displays a mild and forbearing temperament even toward her evil sisters, Goneril and Regan. ]]> 2021-11-02 02:33:03 UTC https://padlet.com/411180596/w7ykruiymbounok4/wish/1860394066 411180596 https://padlet.com/411180596/w7ykruiymbounok4/wish/1860400818 3. Goneril
Lear’s ruthless oldest daughter and the wife of the duke of Albany. Goneril is jealous, treacherous, and amoral.

She challenges Lear’s authority, boldly initiates an affair with Edmund, and wrests military power away from her husband.]]> 2021-11-02 02:35:50 UTC https://padlet.com/411180596/w7ykruiymbounok4/wish/1860400818 caothilinh2000kt https://padlet.com/411180596/w7ykruiymbounok4/wish/1860411672 Britain's greatest writer and playwright ahead of his time.

Regan
Lear’s middle daughter and the wife of the duke of Cornwall. Regan is as ruthless as Goneril and as aggressive in all the same ways. In fact, it is difficult to think of any quality that distinguishes her from her sister. When they are not egging each other on to further acts of cruelty, they jealously compete for the same man, Edmund.]]> 2021-11-02 02:53:30 UTC https://padlet.com/411180596/w7ykruiymbounok4/wish/1860442846 https://padlet.com/411180596/w7ykruiymbounok4/wish/1860443752 2021-11-02 02:53:56 UTC https://padlet.com/411180596/w7ykruiymbounok4/wish/1860443752 caothilinh2000kt https://padlet.com/411180596/w7ykruiymbounok4/wish/1860445063 8.Albany

Edgar
Edgar is Gloucester's sole legitimate heir, but when suspected, he must flee and hide from his father. Edgar's innate honesty and dignity allow him to believe that his brother Edmund would never lie to him, because Edgar does not lie to his brother. Edgar's stoic belief in surviving the worst that luck can bring is tested when Edgar discovers his now blind father. The way Edgar addresses his father shows compassion, understanding, and acceptance of his father's flaws.]]> 2021-11-02 02:57:29 UTC https://padlet.com/411180596/w7ykruiymbounok4/wish/1860451709 Romeo and Juliet (c. 1594–96) hiennguyenquoc77 https://padlet.com/411180596/w7ykruiymbounok4/wish/1860453075 This tale of two star-crossed lovers who both meet tragic ends has been adapted countless times for the stage and screen.
