While his other two daughters named Goneril and Regan, are evil and cruel, they lie to their own father with a mushy tale of love and affection towards him. Since he thought that his favorite daughter didn’t love him here is a quote, to support how upset King Lear was when he is telling his daughter Cordelia that they will never be with each other again because of her removal from the kingdom,

“I prithee, daughter, do not make me mad. I will not trouble to my child. Farewell. We’ll meet no more, no more see another. But yet thou art my flesh, my blood, my daughter Or rather a disease that’s in my flesh” (Lines- 215-218).

However, Cordelia rejected to play Lear’s game, wanted him to love her because she is his daughter.

Lear hears what she wants, but he decides against which makes him insane. So he becomes enraged with angry and he casted Cordelia completely from the family. An article that supports this is, “Rebirth and Renewal in Shakespeare’s King Lear”, which talks about, King Lear and what he did throughout the poem and what it comes down into the end of the poem, because, Lear seeks applause for his childlike ways and that he can’t detect the difference between the truth and falsehoods. When his youngest daughter, Cordelia answers him in a straightforward and honest way, “I love your greatness according to the bond I have with you; no more nor less”, Lear becomes shocked, disinherit Cordelia and divides her third of the land between his other two daughters, Regan and Goneril (Lines-83-84). Then he banishes Cordelia from the kingdom and now that Cordelia is now banished/deprived the King of France, who was visiting Lear’s court is seeking her hand in marriage and he still wants to be with her forever.
