LOVE And LOYALTY

King Lear is a shakespare play that displayed everything horrible that could be imaginable by any one else that would have read this, would of wonder how could someone be so disloyal and the lies and jealousy that is shown throughout this play. Most of the focal point is that King lear is seeking to see who is the one of his daughters that honsetly love him the most and are loyal not only to him but to his court.
King lear is set on play games with his three daughters to test their admiration to their father, This is where i get a little confused because to me , natural love between a child and it's parents should be very easy to obtain with out a testing , no one person or thing should be able to allow them to take away from the relationship between father and child. Here's where i believe King Lear as a parent didnt understand that , it seemed more like he took his household and treated everyone as his servert looking for the trust and love , but his way of proving this was by lying and playing into so many tricks to make the ones that he was close to open up more and share their feelings toward him no matter what the cost
I didn't believe that it had a feminism move or post colonialist move but at the same point i didnt understand all of this play anyway.
