The 3 daughter's responses

In the play King Lear his three daughters were to make a speech of how much they loved him. Goneril states that she loves him as much as she loves life. She loves him as much as her eyesight, and riches. And more than a child ever love a father. Regan as well began to profess her undying love for her father by stating, that her sister defines her very love, just that she comes too short. And her love for him makes all the other joys enemies to her. And that he is her only love.

While Cordelia states the complete opposite, for at first when asked she has nothing to say, then she says that he love can not heave her heart into her mouth, meaning that she can not speak about her love and compare it. Then she goes on to state that she loves him like a daughter should love her father, and unlike her sister when she is to wed he will not have all of her love but half because she cant marry and he have all her love, because she must love her husband as well.

King Lear's Reaction to Cordelia( the reason why)

In the play "King Lear" the King himself was giving out his daughter's fortunes to them. But before they could receive them, they each had to state their love for him. As each of his daughters went up and said they speak of how much they loved him, he felt good and gave them what was rightfully theirs. When it was Cordelia's time she did not do as he asked or the version he would like to hear. So instead of stucking up to him as her sisters did, she did the opposite. At first she said nothing then she stated that she cant speak her heart through her mouth. And that if she was to get married he would have half of her love and not all because, she could not love him one and not her husband as well, for it would not make sense marry and all her love remain with him. This response hurt and humilated him. For the reason that she was his favourite, and he expected alot better and more from her and a far better speech than his other daughters, and she disappointed and shamed him. He failed to see what she meant, and let his aroggance become the better of him. So his hurt and anger controlled him and his response was fueled by it.

The partition of India was i time in history both Indian and British that changed life in India and Britain. This period was when British arrived in India and took control ruled in the 18th century. This partition divided a strong bond between the Hindus and Muslims. The British under the Divide and conquer principal was brought into play ad compromised to divide and relinquish to accommodate the Muslims. Due to this the Indian National Congress, the premier body of nationalist opinions, encouraged Indian Muslims to forge a distinct political and cultural identity. Which led to the bulk of the scholarly literature on the partition.
The difference between Muslim and Hindu are that :
1. Muslims believe in one god they call Allah, while Hindus believe in three gods.
2.The Muslims believe everything in the world belongs to God (meaning eg. the trees are God's, they believe in the apostrophe when it comes to God). While the Hindus believe everything has it own god (eg. for the trees there is a tree god).
3.Muslims believe everyone is equal while the,Hindus have their own hierarchy of the social class/pyramid.
4.Muslims eat all wholesome foods including meat(eg. cow icken etc.). While Hindus don't eat cow because they believe the cow is sacred and therefore is removed from Hindu dietary.
5.And the Muslims believe in body and soul. In that the soul is separated from the body at death. While the Hindus believe the opposite, in that the soul is returned to the body after death.
