One of the troublesome problems in King Lear concerns the parting between the kings of England and France in the first scene of the first act. When France espouses the dowerless Cordelia, Lear turns on him angrily:Thou hast her, France; let her be thine, for weHave no such daughter, nor shall ever seeThat face of hers again; therefore be goneWithout our grace, our love, our benison.(I.i.262-265)To the insulting ‘be gone’ he adds a brutal snub, ‘Come, noble Burgundy,' and walks off without giving France the opportunity to reply. Commentators on the play ask us to believe that a few minutes later the two kings meet again for a formal leave-taking
