Although, the king told.
Kent to mind his own business Kent keeps telling the king in order for the.
king to realize who his real daughter are. Kent states, "See better, Lear;.
and let me still remain the true blank of thine eye." (1.1.159-160) King.
Lear expel Kent also because Kent kept insinuating the reality of his.
daughters in which he is blind and doesn't want to see beyond it. Due to.
his pride, he decides to divide the kingdom, expel both Kent and Cordelia,.

daughters express their beliefs and emotions towards him, causes him to.
make many bad choices that lead to consequences later on in the play. The.
king's shallowness creates the path to his failing by giving the throne to.
the inaccurate children. King Lear doesn't only ignore Kent but also the.
fool who is trying to make him realize the truth behind his daughters. The.
fool illustrates this by stating, "Thou shouldst not have been old till.
thou hadst ben wise." (1.5.40). Moreover, the fool tries to make the king.
realize his mistakes he doesn't take the fool's statements in.

to the fact that he is been unconcern and absurd and will lead him to his.
failing.

The king's last flaw is his careless common sense, which is the basis.
of him making all the wrong choices that lead to terrible mistakes. The.
king's other flaw, unconcern and absurdity, also grant to his lack of.
