- King Leer calls a court meeting to discuss the division of his kingdom among his three daughters. He requests them to state how much they love him in order to receive the largest plot of land; however, Leer has already divided the kingdom. He instantly gives Goneril and Regan their piece of the kingdom proving it has been pre-decided.
- Nothing.
- What is that letter?
- The quality of nothing hath not such need to hide itself (35).
- When it is Cordelia's turn she says nothing. This enrages Leer and causes him to disown Cordelia and allows Goneril and Regan to split what was meant to be Cordelia's land.
- You must leave now. Go armed.
- My father believes you to have done him wrong
- Some villain hath done me wrong (41).
- Armed, brother (41)!?!?
- Kent attempts to speak up for Cordelia but he is promptly shut down and banished from the kingdom. Goneril and Regan see the King's rashness and decide to make a deal to get rid of him together.

- Your wish is my command.

- Kent undergoes a disguise so that the King will not recognize him. He meets the King in his disguise, flatters him, and joins his retinue.
- Edmund writes a fake letter in his brother Edgar's hand. He allows Gloucester to see the letter.
