I think Rose has done a good job in her explanation about the role of the Fool in King Lear. She even notices when is the Fool disappears in the play and the significance of his disappearance!
I agree with Rose that the Fool plays the role of a moral instructor to Lear. Although his name is "Fool" but he is wiser than the king in the sense that he could see the "wolf in sheep clothing" while Lear is morally blinded by his own pride. The Fool warns Lear to beware of the two ungrateful daughters in a humorous way which also brings laughter to the audience. The role of the Fool also portrays clearly the theme of blindness and sight in the play.
