Lear is shocked and appalled to see his servant in the stocks, but even more surprised that anyone would dare to treat his servant in such a way. Lear demonstrates his caring side when he demands to speak with Regan and Cornwall to confirm their part in Kent's pumishment, but they refuse, illustrating Lear's loss of command.
