King Lear is the king of England and he and one of his daughters Cordelia were arrested and put into prison by Edmund, they were in The British camp near Dover. Edmund ordered to one of the officer to kill them. I think that there was a conspiracy between Edmund, the two King Lear daughters and theirs husbands.
Goneril gave poison to her sister Cordelia and killed her so when King Lear knew that his loyal daughter had died he didn’t want to live anymore because he thought that he didn’t have any reason to live. After that King Lear died. I felt that this scene was very cold and funereal.
