The play King Lear is, first of all, a play about kingship; about a
|
|
trustful old king, every inch a king, who in old age brings destruction to
|
|
himself, and to certain persons in his own circle, and to his country. It
|
|
is a play which tears off the outer coverings. Pious and innocent-seeming
|
|
people who are villainous, are revealed in their true nature, and the
|
|
similar is disclosed for what it is, as it works destruction. This is done
|
|
in a world in which most men are constantly seeking their own advancement,
|
|
in a court which flatterers are always lurking, and in which a king should
|
|
be constantly wary and constantly careful to follow the advice of such
|
|
practical honest men as Kent.
|
|
|
|
Within the first two acts of King Lear, the element of disguise is
|
|
established. The king's two daughters, Regan and Goneril, use flattery as
|
|
a disguise. They conceal their true feelings, conspiring to take over the
|
|
land once they gain control of it. Goneril says,
|
|
|
|
Sir, I love you more than word can weild the matter;
|
|
Dearer then eyesight, space, and liberty; . . . . Beyond all
|
|
manner of so much I love you. (I,I,{56-63})
|
|
|
|
Regan speaks,
|
|
|
|
I am made of the same metal as my sister,
|
|
And prize me at her worth. In my true heart
|
|
I find she names my very deed of love,
|
|
Only she comes too short, that I profess
|
|
Myself and enemy to all other joys
|
|
Which the most precious square of sense possesses,
|
|
And find I am alone felicitate
|
|
In your dear Highness' love. (I,I,{72-80})
|
|
|
|
Clearly, these words are loaded with flattery. The third daughter,
|
|
Cordelia, cannot wear the mask that the other two wear, "I love your
|
|
Majesty According to my bond, no more nor less." (I,I,{97-98}) It is for
|
|
this reason that Cordeila is banished from the kingdom.
|
|
|
|
An obvious example of disguise is with the Earl of Kent, as he enters
|
|
the play as Tom of Bedlam. Even though he was exiled from the kingdom, he
|
|
has returned to protect Lear. His great loyality to the king, forces Kent
|
|
to risk his life in order to decieve Lear.
|
|
|
|
Lear : What art thou?
|
|
Kent : A very honest-hearted fellow, and as poor as the king.
|
|
(I, IV, 18-20)
|
|
|
|
A disguise normally is associated with covering up, leaving a very
|
|
superficial character, but in the case with Kent, it is not so. Kent is
|
|
still as loyal as he ever was, and it is clear from this scene that he will
|
|
fight for Lear until his death.
|
|
|
|
The element of disguise, was used extensively within the first two
|
|
scenes. It shows how Regan and Goneril used this factor to decieve Lear,
|
|
and it showed how kent used it to help the king.
