Act 1, Scene 5 Summary

Lear, not realizing that Goneril has sent her own letter, sends Kent to his daughter Regan's house with a letter to announce his arrival and tell her what has happened. The Fool warns Lear that he should not expect better treatment from Regan. The Fool again reprimands Lear for giving away his fortune to his daughters and calls Lear a fool. Lear and his retinue depart for Regan's house.
