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.
