Why do we always have to follow certain rules in order to fit in ?
Since the day that we born, we were taught that there are some social rules that we have to follow because that makes us part of a "normal" society, but the question is.. What is to be normal?. it is to be part of a society by having a proper behavior?
As we can see in Cordelia's character in King Lear, she was exiled due to the unnaceptable response that she gave to his father when he asked to his daughter to flatter him. She did't answer what her father expected unlike her sister who gave to their father what he wanted to hear. Is that wrong?
In the context of the play it was unnaceptable to act like Cordelia did, but What about nowadays?
Do you remember " Revolucion Pinguina"? Well, during those years we could see a similar behavior in comparison to Cordelia. Students from all over the country left aside their regular, normal behavior that they were used to have due to the rules that schools have, and started with a smooth grievance but then, they revealed themself showing their disagreement with the goverment and the way in which the educational system had been working.
There were actually some students who were "exiled" from their schools due to their participation with the movement. The goverment and educational authorities didn't see that comming, it took them for surprise.
Now, what about Cordelia and his father? King Lear didn't expect that his favorite daughter didin't give him the answer or the behavior that he wanted, so what?... Do you thinkg that nowadays we should not show our disagreements, our real intentions, our real thoughts?
Feel free to do whatever you want !!!! Communication is crucial in a society like our, we need to comunicate and manifest
our thoughts, just... be respectful.
