The Story of King Lear (Save the Story)
Author(s): Melania G. Mazzucco
Old King Lear has decided to retire from his royal duties. He calls his three daughters to him and asks each to tell him how much they love him. Goneril and Regan flatter him with their words, but Cordelia refuses to, merely telling him she loves him. He disinherits her and divides his kingdom between Goneril and Regan.
