Here they are!
2. I.i. The issue of law and nature enter into the play
very early. Which of the Earl of Gloucester’s sons is the son “by order of law”?
Which is the “natural” son?
A. Edmond is the son by order of the law, the adopted son, and Edgar is the
natural son, the Earl of Gloucester's son born of him.
I.i.
When Lear asks what Cordelia can say to “draw / A third more opulent than your
sisters,” why is this really an idle gesture by the King? What has he already
decided before the “test of love” among the three sisters? A. I think that Lear had already decided to give the
best to Cordelia, because she was his favorite. He thought that she loved him
the most.
