Both themes are connected and therefore, it will be easy for you if you study both together so that you become able to treat any of them or both if you find in the final exam!<br />Best wishes<br />MahmoudMahmoud Abdallahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476697714688198305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3562558093111968592.post-90789410220113399162010-04-03T20:02:14.843-07:002010-04-03T20:02:14.843-07:00Hi Manar and all!

They remain loyal until the end to those they love and care about; Cordelia and Edgar stay faithful to their fathers, and Kent stays faithful to his king. In the play King Lear, through Cordelia, Kent, and Edgar all loyal characters who would never be insincere no matter what circumstances they are in, Shakespeare hails the virtue of loyalty.Manar Hassanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17247322076500251211noreply@blogger.com
