Paper Summary:
This author believes that Kent is perhaps one of the most loyal subjects ever written by Shakespeare. He states that Kent is a complex person, who is loyal to his king, even when he must disagree with him. By doing this, the paper says that Kent causes the reader to look for signs of redemption in King Lear.From the Paper:
"Kent is blunt and does not know how to soften his words. This gets him into trouble, but Kent's way of communicating also stands in contrast to those around the King who merely say what he wants to hear. Kent's outspoken nature serves to emphasize the cause of King Lear's difficulties: he has lost track of who to believe."More papers on Kent in Shakespeare's "King Lear":
