Also while I’m here let me just say as much as I love Goneril, Regan will always be better than her in my opinion
Point 1- Lear asks his daughters to praise him
Goneril says a whole long (and tbh overdramatic) speech about how much she loves him
Regan just goes “yeah what she said. Except like 3x more”
And lear’s like ‘WOW YOU SURE MUST LOVE ME A LOT THEN’
Point 2- when Goneril and Regan both are trying to figure out if Edmund is secretly dating both of them, goneril’s tactic is to murder Regan, bc if Regan’s dead Edmund’s definitely not dating her
Meanwhile, Regan’s tactic was to just ask Edmund.
She was like “hey are you dating Goneril?”
And Edmund was like “what?! No!”
And she was like “ok cool just checking”
And yeah of course Edmund was lying, but that’s not the point. Because Regan knows what a healthy relationship is, and knows that you have to trust your partner.
