KiNg LeAr
I have finished reading the play ‘King Lear’. Personally, I like the play ‘King Lear’ as it taught me many moral values. I learn how to appreciate my parent as they help to brought me up. I have to treat them well and will not give problems to them. Actually, I felt very sad with Lear’s condition as he has been betrayed by his two elder daughters who are his trust went for them. Fortunately he still has his youngest daughter, Cordelia, to be with him on his doomed. I think Lear has learned his lesson very well that he has to be fair to all his daughters as they are under his responsibility. For me, we cannot be bias to our children and I know that it is hard to be equal. Human is not a perfect creature in life; we do make mistake, make false judgment and have our own preferences even in buying groceries. But, we can always learn from our mistake and experience as experience is the best teacher for us. Furthermore, I learn about being loyal and how to know that people are being loyal and honest to us. We can see that Kent is always being loyal to Lear even though Lear has dismissed him from the country and Edmund who is acclaimed to be loyal to his father at the beginning of the play is actually the one who betrayed his father. All in all, I have learned that life is full of challenge as we cannot predict what might happen to us, who is the good friends to us, and who is pretending to be the good friend…but for sure I will always be my very best to be a good human!!!!!;)..

I agree with Farhana that the play, "King Lear" has taught us many moral values. Like Farhana, I think that this play has made me realise that parents must always be respected and appreciated. As for Lear, he is very unlucky to have daughters as vicious and ungrateful as Goneril and Regan. Goneril and Regan have not only professed their false love to their father, but also reject him, told him that he is an old, foolish man. They even plan to kill him. What scanvengers they are!The pallicon daughters who betray their own father.
But, in the first place, it is also Lear's blindness that has brought him to his later situation. He has foolishly asked his daughters to falter him, saying their love for him. Besides that, Lear is also ignorant, does not know that love is abstract, somewhere in the hesrt and cannot be described by words. He is blind because words can actually be deceiving and he has trusted his ambtitious and evil elders daughters' exaggerated profession of love to him. For that, Lear has given his kingdom to them and drastically has disowned Cordelia by the reason that she has not flatter him. Only in the later scenes does Lear realises his foolishness and regret his action to Cordelia.He fervently hopes that Cordelia forgive and forget his actions towards her. "To ere is human", and so is Lear. In the end, though he does not live happily ever after with Cordelia, just like characters in fairy tales do, he has avenged for Cordelia's murder by killing those who have killed her.He has definitely done something for his beloved Cordelia.
