Lears Fool

Lears Fool:
King Lears fool tends to disappear after the third act.
I personally feel the fool was king Lears support system, he was there to be bluntly honest with King Lear, because none else could do so without being punished after telling King what was really going on.Though his main action was being honest with King Lear, he also wasnt much of a fool, He gave King Lear the best advice throughtout his journey and while he was going from daughter to daughter seeking shelter. He played the role of King Lears advisor in my opinion. Once he notcied the King starting to relaize exactly what was going on he was no longer needed. It was like the fools job was done. In some instances I do think The fool and Cordelia played the same role. Not meaning they were the same person, but their role was to advise the King and genuinely look after him, so in a way it was like once he fool was no longer there cordelia came back and she was there to look after him once the fool was gone. Even in the begining once the King got rid of Cordelia the fool was there and towards the end of the play the fool disappears, but Cordelia returns.
