King Lear from Shakespeare’s King Lear

In Shakespeare’s King Lear, King Lear shows characteristics of the Good Mother. The Good Mother is not always represented by a female character. King Lear provides his three daughters with everything they need. His daughters have food, shelter, and riches. He has worked to guarantee that his children do not suffer. His kindness, lovingness, gentleness, and supportiveness, unfortunately work against him. When he falls ill, he unfortunately grants the wrong daughters with his fortune.  It is not until he realizes that he has been taken advantage of that he gives the most noble daughter his fortune.
