It all gets worse from there when King Lear declares his daughters should beg for his benevolence by having an adoration competition to see who inherits his kingdom while he goes off into a Jimmy Buffett style retirement of drinking and carousing. The two oldest, Goneril and Regan, get into shenanigans while Cordelia just gets married off to the King of France. Literally everyone dies. Spoiler alert.
