Does Lear have any emotional intelligence?
How does Lear react to Cordelia’s refusal? In Act 1 Scene 1, Lear’s reaction to Cordelia’s refusal to engage in the ‘love test’ shows us that he is a character lacking in emotional intelligence. His rash and hubristic nature means that he wants his daughters to engage in acts of vanity towards him. Therefore, he does not recognise the genuine love that Cordelia feels towards him. His rhetorical interrogative “So young, and so untender? ” illustrates his desire for hyperbolic expressions of love (such as the ones Goneril and Regan provide) meaning that he misconstrues her description of love as he questions her own nature. The syndetic pairing of adjectives “young. . untender” show that he was expecting a very different response from his youngest, and most loved, daughter. The adjective “untender” shows that Lear feels wounded by her response, believing her actions to be an unjust attack on his character.
