King Lear/Heartwarming

• People will think I'm crazy, but I find the King of France's proposal to Cordelia in King Lear to be truly sweet, romantic, and heartwarming, probably because he shows such staunch support for her in what (up until then) must be the most painful moment of her life.
  • As this troper watched the production with Ian McKellen, she found the sheer fact that he loved her as the frank person she is and could care less about a dowry.
