There's one catch: They must proclai m their utmost devotion. The unscrupulous Goneril and Regan shower oodle s of false love\, for which they're generously rewarded. The devoted Co rdelia expresses her profound love simply and succinctly. Lear is taken aback by this lack of lavishness\, disinheriting her in a fit of rage. A s he comes to realize the error of his ways\, Goneril and Regan turn rut hless in their quest for power\, plotting with the Duke of Cornwall and the bastard Edmund. Cordelia\, now married to the King of France\, prepa res to attack England for the good of Lear. Meanwhile\, the Duke of Alba ny\, the loyal earls of Kent and Gloucester\, plus Gloucester's legitima te son\, Edgar\, do their part to help save the kingdom.
