King Lear background

King Lear

A wise and aged monarch, Lear, faces a grave mistake when he decides to hand over his kingdom to his two manipulative daughters, who lavish him with false praise, while unfairly disowning the one who truly cares for him.

An aging King Lear wants to retire by abdicating to his three daughters, but first, he asks which one loves him most. Two daughters flatter him, while Cordelia refuses to play along, leading to her exile.
