(Jajja 231). Cordelia hears of the horrible treatment of her father at the hands of her sisters Goneril and Regan and attempts to assist Lear. Unfortunately, Cordelia is killed. The sight of Cordelia’s corpse upset Lear so much that it induced his own death. By play’s end, King Lear and all three of his daughters are dead, but Cordelia and Lear die with their relationship happily resolved. “In this play, Shakespeare shows the two types of women we are accustomed to seeing in his plays, but these women are in the same play and they are sisters. He is showing how even when women are raised together, it is possible that they grow up quite differently” (Kunool 4). Although the three daughters grew up with differing morals, they were grouped together again in death, no matter if they were virtuous or evil, nothing unexpected from a tragedy by William
