Cordelia losing a slipper? edit

In the section "The ending", the article currently states that Cordelia "loses a slipper at the end" of the play. I do not believe this is accurate (I cannot find where in the play it states that Cordelia loses a slipper), but would like feedback before modifying it. Thank you.

Cordelia as a mother figure edit

When Lear offers his kingdom to his three daughters, a role reversal occurs in which the daughters become mother figures for Lear.[1] By dividing his kingdom between his daughters, Lear gives them the power to dictate his own future, much like how a parent has control over the future of his or her children.[2] Because Cordelia is the daughter he loves most, Lear expects her to care for him as he hands over his power to his children and advances into old age, much like how a mother cares for her baby.[3] Amvanden (talk) 22:49, 7 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
