KING LEAR Part 3
NARRATOR：As soon as Goneril has got all she can from her father，she begins treating him disrespectfully．When Lear wants to speak to her，Goneril tells her servant，Oswald，to say she is sick．She encourages her staff to be disrespectful towards Lear and begins complaining about the hundred soldiers Lear has brought with him．However，King Lear soon has a friend by his side．The Duke of Kent，who Lear ordered to leave Britain，cannot abandon his king．He therefore comes to Lear disguised as a servant called Caius and asks for a job．

LEAR：Mmm．I suspected the same，but I kept telling myself it was my imagination．Please tell my daughter I wish to speak with her．（Soldier bows and leaves．Oswald enters．） Ah，come here my man and answer me．Who am I？
OSWALD：My lady's father．
LEAR：Your lady's father？Is that all I am to you，you dog，you slave!（Lear raises his arm as though to strike Oswald．）
OSWALD：I'll not be hit，my Lord．
KENT：（Kent kicks Oswald's feet out from under him．） And you won't be laid flat on your back either，I suppose．Now get up and get out of here．（Oswald leaves．）
