Kent is thrown into the stocks in Shakespeare's play "King Lear" for defying King Lear's authority. After disguising himself as Caius, he speaks out against Lear's treatment of Cordelia and stands up for what he believes is right, which angers Lear. His punishment reflects the consequences of challenging the king and underscores the themes of loyalty and justice in the play.
