The three daughters of King Lear represent to me a form of Cinderella. Cordelia being the youngest sweetest daughter is Cinderella herself being the only honest soul of the bunch "I cannot heave my heart into my mouth" (Shakespeare 101) this line emphasizes Cordelia's good intentions and honest heart. While her sisters, goneril and Regan are the ugly step sisters, with cold hearts and corrupted by greed they do whatever they can to get what they want no matter how swindless or gruesome. "to receive not alone the imperfections of long-engraffed condition" (Shakespeare 341) their cunning and self worth rivals any desire for love and kindness. But I foresee the step sisters getting what's coming to them 😉😉
