My father may have abandoned me as a daughter, but I still love him. I am true to my emotions. My senses are clear, I see more clearly than my sisters, and the rest of this poison that has tainted this precious kingdom. I feel that my sister's intentions are not as honorable as my father once thought. After all, my father is blinded by vanity, and such flattering words can deceive his precious mind, which needs attention and constant reassurance. My father is blind to what he can see in front of him. I know he will realize what he did to me and the kingdom. I have faith that he will see the light and that the almighty gods will guide him to himself. After all this, my father should suffer from his blindness, but on the other hand, he is nothing more than a frail, love-needy, superficial old man who manifests himself in actions and gestures, and not by meaningless words which have germinated sweet evil lies. He was so tormented by my sisters and the people he thought he could trust failed him. The so-called love test my father started was an act of complete disregard for my obvious love for him. I'm starting to wonder if he knew what he was doing all along, but then again, I don't know. His possibly unbalanced mind perplexes me. I've done practically everything for him so that he could succeed as king and he just pushes me aside, like everything I've done for him means nothing. I should be the one who is praised and treated well. My sisters don't show him true love like I do. I won't play his game. The fool is the only one who can be sane. He sees this malicious world through my eyes and I'm glad I don't walk alone. This fool adores me so much, and I believe he will guide my ...... middle of paper ......ility. I explored these themes in this monologue, talking about Lear's apparent blindness, even though he never loses his eyes, he cannot already see what he has in his life. What love Cordelia has for him. He chooses to see with his eyes and not with his mind. He is vain and selfish, and that is why he chooses to favor Cordelia's sisters over Cordelia herself. He didn't see with his mind. The different variations of view allowed me to delve deeper into the story and improvise what Cordelia might think about her father's mental stability because of this. I tried to sound overly dramatic in this monologue because I wanted it to replicate a Shakespeare monologue as much as possible, but be as up to date with modern English as possible. It is common in tragedy for the language to be too dramatic to gain effect and empathy..
