The Nature of Loyalty
In the play King Lear,Shakespeare presents the reader with many negative views of society,and of human nature.One of the few bright spots in the play is Kent,a very loyal and honest man.Through Kent and his actions,Shakespeare shows the reader the nature of true loyalty.
Kent's nature is evident from the very first time he talks to Lear.Lear has begun to detail his disappointment in Cordelia,and announce that he will not be providing her with a dowry.Kent interrupts Lear's speech with a cry of "Good my liege" (Shakespeare 17).This is a very risky move on the part of Kent,as he knows that Lear may not be in a rational state of mind,and may take any disagreeing with him as a challenge.Through this,Shakespeare shows the reader that a truly loyal character will not fear the consequences his actions.Shakespeare reinforces this point later on in the play when Kent disguises himself to aid Lear,even though he is aware that if he is found the penalty is to be death.
