King Lear’s character is a pitiful one in the play though he somewhat redeems himself in the latter sections of the book. King Lear suffers the consequences of his tragic flaw, which was a need to be flattered hence his figurative blindness. With this tragic flaw he banishes the only daughter who truly loves him and took away her inheritance as she refused to flatter him. He split his land between his two insincere daughters who feigned love for him. When King Lear is mistreated by these two daughters, he finally realized that he had made a tragic mistake when he banished the only daughter who was sincere and cared about his wellbeing. They are reunited in the latter section of the book and just when things seem to be going good, they are reminded of the turmoil around them as the war was about to begin. He suffers severe consequences for his flaws as Cordelia his one true loving daughter died as a result of his initial action, which was soon followed by his own death.
