Great Regulars: It is a form of bribery,

because their love will garner each one her equal share of Lear's vast kingdom. In birth order, Goneril and Regan strive to speak the words Lear wants to hear, regardless of their sincerity. Their speeches please him, and he turns finally to Cordelia, who replies with honesty that she has nothing to say, her heart being full of the true love she bears her father.
