Explanation:
In Shakespeare's day, women were not allowed to act on the stage in England. All the female roles in Shakespeare were played by adolescent boys whose voices had not broken – including such famous romantic leads as Cleopatra and Juliet. In King Lear Cordelia, Goneril and Regan would all have been played by boys.
