Lear goes crazy because his world is turned upside down by his inability to believe that his two daughters, Regan and Goneril, do not love him, will not shelter him, after he has given away his kingdom. The fool, has more awarness and good sense and ability to see, than the King. The fool knows that Lear has made a terrible mistake putting his faith in his daughters to take care of him. He chides King Lear for giving his house away. The fool recognizes that the two daughters don't care about their father.
