Slight Confusion

While reading the essay, I agreed with most of the topics and suggestions. Since these were the things we had previously discussed in class, I already had a thorough understanding of them. However, I was confused by the ninth paragraph. Although the main point, the love between a subject and his/her ruler, was clear in the beginning, I became lost in the middle with the strange transition. Instead of keeping to the story, it ran off into another field. Normally, this is fine for me, but the way it transitioned was startling. Starting with the rapid fire questions, then moving on to the long list of strange names, the paragraph befuddled me.

Nevertheless, I agree with the purpose of that paragraph. The difference between loyalty and love between a subject and his/her ruler was confused, not only in that time, but also in the story. It seemed to me that the daughters of Lear, excluding Cordelia for clarity, should have loved Lear more than his earls and dukes. However, it was the other way around. This subtle change of devotion caused a bigger rend that made the confusion in the play more severe.
