Cordelia, however, plays a smaller role in the first few Acts of the play as she is disowned by her father and is not visited. Gonerill and Regan are both cruel father and do not have the same loyalty we get the impression as Cordelia does. Cordelia says at the beginning of the play ‘what shall Cordelia speak, love and be silent’ which shows that she loves her father however doesn’t feel she should lie about how much she loves her father. This truthfulness however lands her in a bad place as she is disowned by her father for not professing her love.

He forgot that pursuing the privilege of personal pleasure goes after he has accomplished his wife’s needs.
People will also be angry once they find out the secrets that have been kept for one’s incentive. Pain will be one of the repercussions of the secrets kept hidden based on one’s impulse. One example was when Caroline was debating whether or not to send David a picture of Phoebe on the day of celebrating her confirmation. While she’s pondering what to do, she starts to think about how he may hurt her the same way he hurt Caroline, “without even knowing it happened” (234).

The Duke also reveals his misgivings about his late wife's character: ...Sir, 'twas notHer husband's presence only, called that spotOf joy into the Duchess' cheek... she liked whate'erShe looked on, and her looks went everywhere.

When Victor creates the monster, his elated expectations of science being a beautiful resource has become his burden because he's created a horrid looking monster.
