To whose hands have you sent the lunatic king?

Speak.

Regan

King Lear             Act III, Scene vii, Line 45

 

The answer to Regan’s question, in case you were wondering, is Dover. Gloster has sent the king to Dover. Why did he send him to Dover? He answers Regan, 

Because I would not see thy cruel nails

Pluck out his poor old eyes; nor thy fierce sister

In his anointed flesh stick boorish fangs. 

To protect him from you, you bitch, and your fanged sister, that’s what Gloster answers. And whilst that my be a good answer, it’s not going to serve him very well. In fact, it will end up being poor old Gloster’s eyes that get plucked out. 

Yeah, Gloster does not make out well in this play. Poor old guy.

Poor old guy. I would never let that happen to you, Mr. Blagys. I would protect you. 

I know you would, Mojo. Thank you.
