How are their situations similar? Well both were tricked by their family. Lear by his daughters (Goneril and Regan) and Gloucester by Edmund. It took them both awhile to see what their children were really up to, though neither of them wanted to hear the truth...it was to painful for them to bear.

In the play King Lear what is one of the contrast between sight and blindness?

In "King Lear," the contrast between sight and blindness is epitomized in Lear's inability to see the true nature of his daughters, Goneril and Regan, while he mistakenly perceives Cordelia's honesty as lack of love. This blindness leads to his tragic downfall, as he is unable to recognize the loyalty and virtue that Cordelia embodies. Additionally, Gloucester's physical blindness symbolizes his metaphorical blindness to the treachery around him, ultimately highlighting the theme that true insight comes from understanding and empathy rather than mere physical sight.
