In King Lear this identity crisis affects Lear's daughters because Regan and Goneril conform with each other to plot against their father while Cordelia acts as an individual and expresses the true love for her father. Similarly to other aspects of life, when one is an individual, they are outcast in society while those who have the same thoughts bond and unite. In the play, the daughters that unite are given power although their motives are not about pleasing their father, rather taking all of his power and eventually breaking his heart. In the end, Cordelia is appreciated by her father when he finally realizes she is the only one that loved him and he is heartbroken to learn he has been wrong in disowning her.
