While his elder daughters, Goneril and Regan, flatter him with false praise, his youngest daughter Cordelia speaks honestly and is disowned. After giving away his power, Lear is betrayed by the elder daughters and gradually descends into madness. Meanwhile, a parallel story of betrayal unfolds in the family of Gloucester and his sons. In the end, Lear realizes his mistake, but it is too late—Cordelia dies, and Lear dies of grief, highlighting themes of pride, blindness, loyalty, and the tragic consequences of poor judgment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWilliam Shakespeare was a famous English playwright, poet, and actor, born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, England.
