Help[Facts] Re: My column on Reagan and Regan
in reply to a message by clevelandkentevans
I've noticed that, while Regan is occasionally used in real life, the name of her sister Goneril is pretty much unused. From what I remember from King Lear, both sisters were equally evil. My guess is that Regan has a more pleasant sound to it than Goneril, which might explain why Regan is used outside of theater while Goneril isn't.
