Kent's punishment, being banished by Lear, is a dreadful insult because Kent has always been loyal and honest to Lear. By banishing Kent, Lear is casting away one of his most faithful and devoted followers, showing a lack of appreciation for Kent's loyalty and service. It also demonstrates Lear's inability to recognize and value true friendship and loyalty over flattery and false devotion.
