Power is the ability to manipulate and control what one desires; it is convincing someone to do something without asking authority, but it also has a positive connotation with favourable characteristics to support it. Shakespeare uses these characteristics to contrast between the moral and the corrupt. However in “King Lear” there is a prominent aspect of power that corrupts the characters foreshadowing their death. Goneril and Regan are corrupted by the power given by their father Lear and…
Although characters such as Lear and Cordelia did not deserve to die, they served as symbolic sacrifices and the blame for their deaths were at the hands of Regan and Goneril. With the urgency for power, the sisters thought they could work together to overthrow their father’s wishes to divide his kingdom.

Throughout Edmunds manipulation of his brother Edgar, Edgar arrogantly never questions the legitimacy of his brothers claims. For example, when Edmund first manipulated Edgar, he convinced his brother that their father Gloucester…
his expectations he banished her reducing her power to nothing. When Lear gets banished from Gloucester’s castle he descended into madness because he removed all of his clothes off and had conversations with the mad man “How dost, my boy? Art cold? I am cold myself. Where is this straw my fellow? The art of our necessities is strange” (III. Ii. 68-70).
