h the dust which the rude wind blows in your face. I fear your disposition. That nature which contemns its origin cannot be bordered certain in itself. She that herself will sliver and disbranch from her material sap perforce must wither and come to deadly use.” (IV.2.38-45). Albany tells Goneril that she is so worthless she does not deserve the wind that blows on her face. He says that her nature is to despise her father and therefore has no reliable boundaries and is untrustworthy. He states that she has torn herself away from Lear as if she were a branch tearing itself away from the tree that sustains it. He says that in doing this will lead to the destruction of herself and of others around her.When King Lear banishes his most dearly loved daughter Cordelia he behaves drastically and rashly. He banishes Cordelia because she refuses to lie to him as her sisters did by telling him how much they loved him. When he wishes horrendous things to happen to Regan it is simply because she said something that he did not agree with. The king’s pride overwhelms him so much that he cannot and will not accept any difference of opinion with his decisions. When Kent reveals that banishing Cordelia was an unwise decision Lear exiles Kent, his most trusted friend. There are many terrible deeds that Lear commits, but also has several unpleasant ones committed on him by his daughters. Even though there are horrible things done to king Lear, the terrible things that Lear do outweighs them. Lear deserves his punishment, should live up to his mistakes, and do whatever he can to correct those mistakes....
