As mentioned in the previous post about King Lear and all the family issues in Act 1 there are many more to follow. By the end of the play Edgar and his half-brother Edmund argue. At the end of the scene Edmund is dead.
Goneril and Regan twindle Lear's men down from a hundred to twenty-five. After hearing this Lear basically goes into exile with only the fool with him. Soon after Goneril and Regan start get into it. They start fighting over Edmund. Goneril poisons Regan and then is killed by Oswald.
Lear and Cordelia in the meantime are ordered to be hanged. Cordelia hangs herself and Lears dies soon after.
There is alot of family drama in this play that all come together. At first I was not sure about this play and whether I would like but after reading it all I enjoyed it. Between two of the sisters fighting over a man and people being accused of trying to kill others it really doesn't have a dull moment.
