The Blindness of King Lear

In William Shakespeares play, King Lear, we shown ways in which Goneril uses her wit to create an fatten speech to trick Lear into retrieve she loves him. This is the Kings first act of cecity inside the play, and because he is nearly deceived by his two first daughters, Goneril and Regan, this creates a domino subject of bad choices; one of these being the banishment of Cordelia due to his unfitness to recover the reality of Cordelias true(p) love for him.
