he doesn't want to be king anymore and he hasn't got any sons to inherit the crown, so he makes his three daughters tell him how much they love him. Lear is splitting his kingdom into three, the biggest will go to the daughter he thinks loves him the most etc. although Lear is not going to be king he still wants to be treated like one. the third daughter that says how she doesn't love him and that her sisters are only saying nice things to him because they want to the biggest land, he is already disturbed and is loosing the plot and tells her to get out. throughout the play Lear gets more disturbed and crazy.
