Regan and Goneril lie and say that they love him as much as possible it is…

of Edmund, signifying he is no longer just the illegitimate son but a man of power, the Earl of Gloucester. “My lord is dead. Edmund and I have talked, and more convenient is he for my hand than for your lady’s” (IV.5.35-37). Regan tries to persuade Oswald, Goneril’s steward, into understanding that she is the better choice for Edmund rather than Goneril because she no longer has a husband while her sister is still married to Edmund. It can be assumed that Regan does not actually want Edmund to…
