divide his kingdom between his three daughters, Goneril, Regan and Cordelia. But when Cordelia doesn't submit to his requests for flattery in order to earn her share of the kingdom, he cuts her off. While Cordelia leaves England to marry the King of France, Lear opts instead to rely on his eldest daughters, who both regard him with thinly-veiled contempt.

* MusicalWorldHypotheses: If you listen carefully, there are a few snippets of dialogue done as normal contemporary speech rather than in the Shakespearian style (e.g., Regan and Cornwall whispering to one another in the Tower of London, the French army planning their next offensive). This suggests that the dialogue taken from Shakespeare may be non-diegetic and is instead used as a metaphor to convey the drama of the situation.
* TraumaticHaircut: Kent shaves off all his hair after he's exiled by Lear.
