Kent
My lord, I see your love to Gaveston
Will be the ruin of the realm and you,
For now the wrathful nobles threaten wars,
And therefore, brother, banish him for ever.
Christopher Marlowe, Edward II, Scene 6 Lines 205-208
Edward’s brother, Kent, comes to terms with the fact that he may have let Edward and Gaveston’s love affair interfere too much with the running of England. He finally see that Edward as become much too involved in Gaveston and can’t see he is running his country into the ground. His love for his brother makes it very hard for to realize what is going on and doesn’t want to hurt his brother. You can tell that he is one of the few people who cares for Edward and would only do things that were in his best interest. He even realizes that he may have been wrong about siding with the nobles for they would be the ultimate downfall of Edward.
