Dear Cordelia,

I am writing to you to apologize for my stupid reaction of banishing you , my dear daughter. I have been such a fool as now I realize that Regan and Goneril were being very deceitful and unloyal right in front of me ! The worst thing is that they have overthrown me. I am really regretful to not have realize how honest you were and how loyal even though you said ‘nothing.’ Now I understand that you were showing your love by your actions and that you were not lying to me at all and you was being honest in front of me unlike your sisters . It is ridiculous what they are now deciding to do to me because I feel like rubbish and like no one. This is because it is really offending me. You don’t even understand how much I wish I had realized this and I had given the land to you.

There is a  reason why I did actually banish you and I hope you understand this. The reason for this was that you disrespected me infront of lots of people by standing there and saying nothing. Also you didn’t listen to me when I said make a better speech than your sisters. This means that you have not met the expectations of a perfect wife. These were all the reasons for my action to banish you all the way to France which I really regret now as I have explained earlier in this apology letter.

 

 

I have literally felt so regretful for my overall desicion that I even went walking all around the land. Also I walked up the cliffs looked at the rivers and every thing else and it reminded me of the speeches of both of them. I really felt like going back in time and chosen you as the owner of the whole of the land because I also really don’t like their husband’s. This made me walk around their houses and I Ben tried to meet up with them and speaking to them about how they can’t overpower me but they  ignored me totally.

What I am feeling about Goneril and Cordelia is just complete hate towards them since they overthrew and literally rubbed me out of their lives . Like I was no one to them just a random person. I feel regret all the way back to when they were actually born as it really upsets me as what position they have put me in and how they treat me. All I can think of right now is them and how they are actually not caring about me and leaving me out and making their husbands more important than their own father! I just can’t stop my head from going on and on about this issue, this situation that I have been put in by my own daughters! So as you know I am very regretful for not choosing you instead of your unloyal sisters.

In the end all I feel is guilty and I feel like this was the biggest mistake in my life and all I feel is bad things in my stomach I feel not butterfly’s but bricks. I am also feeling disgusted with my self and with Regan and Cordelia and how they abandoned me completely. The biggest feeling inside me is regret, regret for choosing them and regret for banishing you to France. Also I feel regret for lots of things I’ve done. Mostly regret for this and for giving the land to your ridiculous sisters.

I hope you take some of your time to read this letter and also come back to England and if not at least respond to me. Also I really miss you and I think that you should have just made a speech like I really love you.

Yours faithfully,

King Lear your own dad.
