King Lear- many ideas/opinions

So I definitely believe that King Lear is a crazy, twisted, egotistical ruler. What man in his right mind is going to pit his daughters (who don't need to rule anything) against each other in a who-loves-me-more game knowing that the only daughter that could SANELY rule the land is the one that truly loves him????
Really...

And as for Cordelia, I think she did right. Knowing her father knows she loves him with all her heart and yet being asked if she loves him most- can you say low blow? Unnecessary? If not out of spite or hurt she could have just not said anything so as not to sink to her sisters' level. It may have been best she not say anything- if you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all, right?

I think they pretty much got what they all deserved ^_^
