　　How Should Parents Treat Their Children?

　　Chen Wanying

　　What I learn from "King Lear" is that a parent should treat all his or her children equally and that a person can not enjoy something that has been given away, like power.

　　King Lear always favours his third-born daughter Cordelia, therefore, apparently, the two elder daughters, Goneril and Regan, are unsatisfied with him. During the time that Lear has power, Goneril and Regan are willing to put up with him and even tell lies to satisfy him. It is a wise father to know his own child, but unfortunately Lear is not such a wise father. Then the two elder daughters begin treating him disrespectfully once Lear has lost his power and there is nothing they can get from him. Hard-hearted though the two daughters are, I won't speak for Lear's treating his daughters unequally.

　　Meanwhile,one of the reasons why Lear comes into friction with Goneril and Regan is that the daughters are unwilling to pay for his soldiers. For the two daughters, the soldiers are not only unnecessary but also very expensive to keep. But for King Lear, the meaning of the soldiers lies in that he feels that he still has power. However, he doesn't  have it anymore, and the difference between his imagination and the reality is so cruel that he grows mad.

　　All in all, parents should have equal love for their children. And at the same time,we should either stop imagining enjoying what we no longer owe or simply not give away what we still desire to others.

　　同窗读后感：该文对戏剧角色分析细致，人物关系剖析深刻，如对"李尔王因幻想与现实的落差而迷失"作更深入的论述则对现实更有启示意义。
