King Lear 1
The relation between power and love is very strong. The two sisters Goneril and Regan pronounce their love for their father with very over the top language not because they love him that much, but because he has power, and they want some of it for themselves. Also Burgundy said he loved Cordelia, but chooses not to marry her because she no longer has the land that was previously came with her marriage. And King Lear himself loves the power he has, and will only give to his daughters if they say they love him.
