> hey fellas is it bad that I spent most of King Lear thinking that the daughters were the good guys

no you’re right

it’s so valid of them to be concerned about a parent who’s prone to random impulsive fits of anger in which he exiles people who he loved 5 minutes ago

the Lear antagonists all are so extremely reasonable in their grievances. to the point where I barely think of them when I think of Shakespeare antagonists

anyway yeah Goneril and Regan are the good guys. to me personally.
