During the King Lear unit, we spoke a lot about what we, as children and students, owe our parents, if anything. In King Lear, Lear's daughters, Regan and Goneril, profess their love to him to gain his land, but later betray him and they feel they don't owe him anything. But Cordelia, Lear's third daughter, refuses to tell him how much she loves him like her sisters do for she won't spew false words, and Lear banishes her, but, in the end, the King realizes how much she really does love him and what they owe each other. I feel I owe my parents a lot, but maybe not quite everything. They are the reason I was born and the reason I have turned out the way I have, for which I am thankful, but, somedays, I wish things had been different in my sheltered upbringing. Overall though,I love my parents and owe them a lot for all the things they have done for my brother and I over the years.
