Answer:
The above dialogue is from King Lear by William Shakespeare. In the specific dialogue, King Lear is raging against his two daughters' attempts to strip him of his knighthood and his servants.
Step-by-step explanation:
King Lear delivers these lines in Act 2 scene IV of the play where he rages against his own daughters Goneril and Regan. They had turned against him and had attempted to take away his knighthood and all of his servants. So, he is explaining that humans are only different from animals in that they need more than the basic necessities of life. If not, they will be the same as animals. His need to keep both is representative of his identity as the king and as a human being. Their presence will make him appear acceptable to others.
