Queen Leah: “all of you come up here and Cornelius can you please get me some bear as well” Cornelius:”awe man come on mum im so tired” Queen Leah:”if you love me just do what I say” Cornelius:”fine” the other 2 brothers were lined up next to each other like they already new what she was about to say finally the last brother came up sweaty with the bear on shirt the two brothers giggled as Cornelius slowly walked to the line.Queen Leah:”where’s my bear”Cornelius:”uh sorry mum I spilt it on the stairs”queen Leah: “never mind any way each one of you have to give a speech to me on how much you love me, you will all get one of King Lear”s restaurants but whoever loves me the most gets the biggest restaurant that he owns because he is going to retire soon”.

“Gon your the first on to speak” Queen Leah said “madame i love you more than words can say i would prefer you rather than to see my whole life,if i owned the whole of space i would leave it for you and i would rather not look like like i am now rather for you to be alive and beyond all manner i love you so much”.

“my second son to speak Reggie” ” i feel the same about Gon but his speech was too short,i am a enemy to other joys and you are the most speacial thing that a square sense posses.

and said
“Then poor Cornelius the last one.”Queen Leah said.Cornelius started going red and took a while to even open his mouth,finally he speaks and says”iv got nothing to say”Queen Leah was disappointed”WHAT NOTHING!”nothing mum” Cornelius said while the two brothers looked surprised.”Unhappy that i am i cannot pull my heart into my mouth for how much i love you to for our bond together as well.”why fix your speech a little other wise you will not get the biggest restaurant.” Queen Leah said.Cornelius tried to mend his speech and said “you have looked after me and
loved me and i give those duties back to you,i obeyed you,loved you and respected you and i will always love you”

“But why did you do you say that your so young?” Cornelius spoke and said “i know im so young but thats true”
“so let that be your speech i guess you don’t love me then”

In the story king Lear says he hasn’t got long left to live.He asks 3 sisters who ever loves him the most will get the biggest peace of land they all have to give a speech of honesty on how much they love king Lear.

The first one to speak Gonriel. She obviously was desperate for the land and she was ready to lie to king Lear and that kind of tells us about her personality she just wants to lie to get the things she wants. So she said” you are dearer than eyesight space and liberty could be valued”. She obviously doesn’t care she just wants what she wants. You can tell that she doesn’t really love her father she would definitely prefer to see than see her father again,she would rather be trapped in a cage than not to be free to see her father again if you didn’t` love somebody you wouldn’t want that.King real didn’t comment on it he didn’t sound impressed “what shall my second daughter do” he said.The second daughter spoke and said:

“Sir iam made of the self same metal that my sister is and in my love i think i love you more than my sister does and only she comes to short and that i profess my self an enemy to all other joys ” that means she said that her first sister that spoke her speech was to short and not good enough she says she would rather never be happy to love her father

And how Regan said only she comes to short Regan didn’t think Gonerial speech wasn’t good enough and started to talk about the quantity of gonriels speech.She thinks that she loves King Lear exactly how Goneriel does but she loves him even more.You can see that she just wants what she wants she doesnt care about her sisters anymore she is making them her enemy now Regan was being very selfish at that point and by the last 2 that had spoke they are very desperate to get the piece of land.

Then Cordelia was the last person to speak as King Lear introduces her as the 3^rd sister “To thee and thine hereditary ever remain this ample third of our fair kingdom can you say better than your other 2 sisters” then she opens her mouth and says “nothing my lord … ” there was silent pause and then  king Lear said “NOTHING!!!”  Cordelia replies with “nothing” she says nothing because she can’t speak words of love when she doesn’t feel real love but only the love of family blood bond .but she doese love her father enough that she will not marry another man because she feels she would have to split her love and she doesn’t want to love him.

So I think that Cordelia was the most honest sister out of her sisters but she probably would of now got the worst piece of land.
