Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the relationship between King Lear and his daughters and how this relationship is turned around throughout the play giving each character a chance to play the child and the parent in the relationship.

From the Paper:

"Through the first act of King Lear, we see a traditional father-daughter relationship, one where if the daughters do what the father says, or behave, they will then get a reward. But in act 2 of the play, this relationship seems to be turned around, making King Lear the child, and Goneril/Regan as the parental figures."
