The king’s throne room. Enter King Lear; the king’s daughters: Goneril, Regan and Cordelia; the Dukes of Albany and Coneril’s and Regan’s husband; and the Duke of Kent, a loyal friend of the king.

LEAR :My dear daughters, I am growing old and tired. The burden of government sits

heavily on my shoulders. I have decided to retire and hand over the heavy load of

responsibility to you three. See, here is a map of my kingdom with all the

boundaries drawn on it. I have divided the kingdom into three parts, and allocated

one part to each of you. Now tell me, my dears, which of you love me the most?

For whichever of you has for me the most devotion I will give to her the best part of everything I own. Goneril, what do you say?

GONERIL: Sir, I do not have the words to express the depth of my devotion. I love you more

than all the riches in the world, more than my freedom, more even than my own

eyesight. In fact, I love you more life itself.

LEAR: (showing his daughter the map) My darling girl. You and your husband Albany

shall have this part of my kingdom with all its rivers and forests and mountains.

And your children shall own it after you. Now Regan, it is you turn. What have

you got to say to me?

REGAN: In expressing her love for you, my sister has also expressed mine. Yet I love you

even more than words can say. I adore you more than anything else in the whole

world. My greatest happiness is in loving you.

LEAR: To you and your husband Cornwall and to your future children, I give this part of

my kingdom (showing them on the map). This part is equal in value to what I give

to Goneril. Now my darling, my favoriate, my Cordelia. What have you to say to

delight an old man and earn the best part of his kingdom?

CORDELIA: Nothing, my father.

LEAR:

LEAR: Nothing? You’ll get nothing for nothing. I pray you, speak.

such fancy words. I love you as it is right and proper for a daughter to love her

father, neither less nor more.

LEAR: Try harder, Cordelia, or you may lose your share of the kingdom.

In return I love, honor and obey you. I do not understand why they ever got

married. You see, when I marry, it will be my duty to give half my love to my

husband.

LEAR: You truly mean what you say? So young and so hard-hearted. Well, then. Let truth be your reward. You are no longer my daughter but a stranger to my heart. But sir--- Be quiet,Kent. Do not come between me and my anger. She was my favourite

daughter. With her I hoped to spend my old age. But that is never going to happen

now. You, servant! Go and find the King of France and the Duke of Burgundy.

We’ll see if either wants to be a bridegroom when she has no riches to bring to

the marriage. Goneril, Regan, I shall distribute my kingdom between the two of

you. I shall take nothing for myself except a troop of one hundred of my most

loyal soldiers to care for and protect me. And as I have no third-born daughter, I

will spend my days with you two- a month with one and then a month with the

other.

KENT: But, sir, I beg you --- Do not contradict me. It is done. But sir, please hear me out. I speak on behalf of Cordelia. I have served you for

many years and you know that I have always honored by you as my king and

loved you as a father, but I believe you are being influenced by false flattery.

Cordelia’s devotion to Your Majesty is beyond question.

LEAR:

KENT:Kent, if you value your life, say no more. I have to speak out, my Lord. I would rather lose my life than see you make such

a mistake. You do wrong to cause friction between yourself and your daughter. I

forecast that such actions will cause great conflict throughout your kingdom.

LEAR: How dare you oppose me. Get out of my sight. Pack up your things and be gone

from my kingdom. If you have not passed beyond my frontiers within five days, I

will have you killed.

CORDELIA: Yes, Your Majesty. COREDLIA: So young and so truthful, my Lord.

NARRATOR: As soon as Goneril has got all she can from her father, she begins treating him LEAR:

GONERIL:disrespectfully. When Lear wants to speak to her, Goneril tells her servant, Oswald, to say she is sick. She encourages her staff to be disrespectful towards Lear and begins complaining about the hundred soldiers Lear has brought with him. However, King Lear soon has a friend by his side. The Duke of Kent, who Lear ordered to leaveBritain, cannot abandon his king. He therefore comes to Lear disguised as a servant called Caius and asks for a job. (Enter Lear, several of Lear’s soldiers andKentdisguised as a servant.) OK, Caius, I’ll give you a trial. And if you prove to be good at your job, I’ll keep you on as my servant. (Oswald enters.) Hey, you there. Where’s my daughter? (Oswald ignores the king and hurries out of the room.) Hey. What’s going on? Call him back. Is he deaf? (A soldier rushes out after Oswald.) It’s as though the whole world has gone to sleep. (Soldier reenters.) Where’s that servant? Why didn’t he come back when I called? Sir, he answered me very rudely and said he would not come back. I don’t believe it! Sir, I am sorry, to tell you this, but it seems to me that you are not being treated with the respect due to a king. Everyone here, including your daughter, is behaving very coldly towards you. Mmm. I suspected the same, but I kept telling myself it was my imagination. Please tell my daughter I wish to speak with her. (Soldier bows and leaves. Oswald enters.) Ah, come here my man and answer me. Who am I? My lady’s father. Your lady’s father? Is that all I am to you, you dog, you slave! (Lear raises his arm as though to strike Oswald.) I’ll not be hit, my Lord. (Kent kicks Oswald’s feet out from under him.) And you won’t be laid flat on your back either, I suppose. Now get up and get out of here. (Oswald leaves.) My thanks, Caius. I can see you will be a most valuable servant. (Enter Goneril.) What’s up, daughter? You always seem to be frowning lately. Is it any wonder that I frown when your soldiers are continually drinking and fighting? I thought when I told you about their behaviour you would make them behave, but now I hear you have insulted Oswald. I do believe you are encouraging your soldiers in their bad behaviour. Is this my daughter scolding me? I have had enough of your soldiers. They are expensive to keep and you don’t

need them. Besides, their drunken behaviour and bad manners are disgusting. You

will send half of them away. And unless you want me to get rid of the rest of them

too, I suggest you teach them how to behave properly.

LEAR: That’s a lie. My soldiers are good men who know how to behave properly. I

won’t stay here be insulted. I still have one more daughter. She’ll scratch out your

eyes when she hears how you’ve treated me. Men! Get my horses ready and

collect my baggage. I’ll leave immediately. I won’t stay where I’m not welcome.

(Lear and companions leave.)

NARRATOR: Lear sendsKenton ahead to the castle of his other daughter, Regan, to tell her

that he will soon be arriving. Goneril sends her servant Oswald to Regan to tell

her side of the story.
