King Lear's tragic flaw is his value of appearances and his inability to accept reality. Throughout the play, Lear wishes to be treated like a king, yet he wants no responsibilities for his kingdom. Instead, he splits his kingdom and has his daughters rule over their given region. Likewise, he tests his daughters to see which of them are willing to make the grandest testement of love for him. Although he truly knows Cordelia loves him the most, he disowns her for her lack of an outlandish and public display of love. In both instances, he allows his love of appearances to get in the way of reality.

In Shakespeare's play what is tragic flaw?
Tragic flaw is a concept derived from Aristotle's poetics which was extremely popular in the 19th century and still has currency among schoolteachers who use older textbooks. The idea is this: Tragedies have to have tragic heroes, main characters who have something bad happen to them. We have to sympathize with the tragic heroes, or otherwise we would conclude that they deserve what they get. But it is unfair to God to say that bad things happen to people because, well, they happen that way. We have to say that bad things happen to people because they have something wrong with them. This need to point a moralistic finger means that although we might think that the tragic hero is mostly good, there is something wrong with him. This "something wrong" is called a "tragic flaw". The need to find these permanent flaws in people's characters has driven students to distraction trying to find some quality in the hero they can deplore and say "There! That's why the bad things happened to him."
