Title: King Lear, Favoritism, Sibling Rivalry and Betrayal.
Summary: This paper analyzes how King Lear and the Earl of Gloucester effectively created the framework for the story to end up as a tragedy through their blatant favoritism and unequal love for their children. Edgar and Cordelia are presented as the "good" characters, but it is nevertheless quite easy to sympathize with Edmund "the bastard" and understand the anger of Goneril and Regan. The essay uncovers several key quotes and makes a persuasive argument that the true reason for all the betrayals, pride, and vaulting ambition in this play is the result of terrible parenting that has resulted in sibling rivalry.
