frame 2questions and answer? Once, many hundred years ago, there was a king of England called lear. He had ruled
his land wisely for many years, but now he was growing old and feeble. He felt that it
was time to pass on his kingdom to his three daughters.
One day. Lear sent for his daughters and asked each in turn whether she truly loved
him. Goneril, the eldest, answered him first. "Sir, she said, you are dearer to me than
eyesight or life. No child has ever loved her father more than I love you.' The king was
well pleased with this speech, not realising its dishonesty
Then he called his second daughter, Regan, 'What does our second daughter, our
dearest Regan, say?
Regan answered, 'I am the happiest when I am able to serve you. The old king smiled
fondly at her and gave both Goneril and Regan parts of his kingdom.
At last he turned to Cordelia, his dearly loved youngest daughter. What do you say to
deserve your share?' he asked her gently,
Now, Cordelia knew that her sisters were only praising the old king because of their
greed for their share of the kingdom. She, who truly loved her father, answered a little
bitterly: "I love you as I should: neither more nor less'
