I love you as much as life itself, and as much as status, health, beauty, or honor. I love you as much as any child has ever loved her father, with a love too deep to be spoken of. I love you more than any answer to the question “How much' ragan on the other had says Sir, I’m made of the same stuff as my sister and consider myself just as good as she is. She’s described my feelings of love for you precisely, but her description falls a little short of the truth. I reject completely annoy except my love for you, and I find that only your majesty’s love makes me happy
5. Cordelia answers nothing meaning that she loves him as i should no flowery language just love plain and simple
6. no i do not think Cordelia is being mean to refuse to play her fathers game. the game in itself is utter foolishness made only to please a childish king, Cordelia is above such and answers honestly and plainly
7. lear overacts to Cordelia's answers saying that she feels she is a big woman he disowns her and gives her nothing.

8.
9. both France and Burgundy are shocked that Cordelia has been disowned. the king informs them that they can still marry her but they get nothing with they marriage. Burgundy agrees to marry Cordelia still with the a fore dowry but the king refuses to give anything. burgundy retracts his offer of marriage. France however looks passed the money and asks why she was disowned after hearing the reason he asks Cordelia to marry him even without a dowry. we can see from the since that burgundy only wanted a wife with money and connections mostly money he is very vain and shallow only looking at what material things he is receiving. franc on the other had is looking for a virtuous woman which he finds in Cordelia he care not about the money he see the good virtues in Cordelia that money could never buy he is a wise man.
10. when Cordelia say that she knows what her sisters are she is saying that she knows that they lied to get a land. the sister then further along in the since acknowledge their father's foolish choice in disowning the only daughter that really loves him
