Question 11: How do we know
Cordelia loves her father as much as any child loves their parent but does not feel she can flatter her father by making him feel there is no room in her heart for any other love.

Lear wants Cordelia to talk to him in the flattering way everyone else does, and when she refuses, he is angry. The extremity of his anger seems to surprise everyone, and his rage may be a sign that Lear is becoming senile or losing his mind.
3. What reply did Cordelia give to her father's question? Ans: Cordelia replied to her father that he was her father and had cared for her, fed her, and loved her.

Soon may I hear and see him. In Act 4 Scene 7 When Lear is finally reunited with Cordelia he redeems himself by fully apologizing for his actions towards her and his subsequent death is therefore even more tragic. Cordelia's death finally hastens the demise of her father first to madness then death.
