Applying Nietzsche to King Lear

/ Sure I shall never marry like my sisters,/ [To love my father all.]" (I, 1, 99-104). She argues with her father over why he listens to her sisters. She believes that she is making the right decision by being honest with her father rather being fake. In addition to that, she forgives Lear easily even when she gets booted out of the kingdom without a dowry, which again suggests the characteristic of master morality. .
             When Lear awakens and finds his daughter at his bedside, he acknowledges the way he's hurt Cordelia and admits that she has "some cause" to wish him harm. Yet, despite everything, Cordelia finds it within herself to utter "no cause, no cause." She easily forgets what her father did to her, and moves on. The action she has towards her father fits properly in Nietzsche's noble morality description which is the active forgetfulness. Without forgetfulness, there could be no happiness, cheerfulness, hope, pride, immediacy and present (Nietzsche p.35).
             Another character that features Nietzsche's noble morality concept is King Lear. He is powerful, noble, wealthy, and independent but also naive, which matches what Nietzsche says: "While the noble man lives in trust and openness with himself (gennaios 'of noble descent' underlines the nuance 'upright' and probably also 'naive')," ( Nietzsche p.20). In the play, Lear is an aging king who wants to retire and hand over his kingdom and hard work to his children but at the same time he also wants to enjoy the power of still being king without any of the responsibility. Then, he exiles the people who love him the most, Cordelia and Kent. From the actions above, Lear makes decisions right away when people don't obey him. It clearly fits the concept where Nietzsche talks about, "For the ressentiment of the noble human being, when it appears in him, runs its course and exhausts itself in an immediate reaction, therefore it does not poison" (Nietzsche p.
