Answer:

Hey mate,

Your answer is as follows:

When Lear first speaks, he seems like a logical and generous king. He wants to divide his kingdom three ways and give the portions to each of his daughters. He realizes he is getting old and feels that the time is right to confer his kingdom to his daughters ("younger strengths") giving him time to relax/retire. However, he soon proves that although he is generously giving away his kingdom, he is proud; he expects each daughter to profess her love for him so that "we our largest bounty may extend." She who professes love for Lear most eloquently would apparently get a greater share of the kingdom.

Goneril and Regan make passionate speeches. Cordelia decides to say nothing superfluous. She does this to be true.
