Answer: She was honest

It's a funny thing how peoples' minds work. But, I guess he was old and thought she didn't love him.

Answer: true

This was her reply after Lear said: "So young, yet so untender."
3. Who are Cordelia's two suitors?

Answer: King of France & Duke of Burgundy

The Duke of Burgundy refused to marry Cordelia after he found out that she had no dowry. As Shakespeare put it: "Peace be with Burgundy! Since that respects of fortune are his love, I shall not be his wife."
4. Who does Cordelia end up marrying?

7. What is Cordelia's last line?

Answer: Shall we not see these daughters and these sisters?

Not nearly as interesting as any of the other answers.

9. Who did Lear kill because that person killed Cordelia?

Answer: The hangman

When I did this production, I was Cordelia and they put white makeup on my face. Then they put makeup on a rope and rubbed that on my neck. My mom said it was scary to watch it. My Lear was big enough to carry me, too.
10. Does Cordelia suspect Goneril and Regan?

Answer: Yes

She figures them out right at the beginning.
