Gloucester couldn't recognize Edgar because Edgar was disguised as Poor Tom, a mad beggar.
Gloucester's inability to recognize Edgar is a key element of the tragedy in Shakespeare's *King Lear* and stems from a combination of factors:
* **Blindness:** Gloucester has had his eyes gouged out by Cornwall, rendering him physically unable to see. This is the most obvious and immediate reason.
* **Disguise:** Edgar is in disguise as "Poor Tom," a Bedlam beggar. He is intentionally trying to obscure his true identity by adopting a wild, disheveled appearance, speaking in disjointed phrases, and behaving erratically. He is unrecognizable compared to the noble son Gloucester knew.
* **Preconceived Notions:** Gloucester believes Edgar has betrayed him. He is primed to see Edgar as an enemy and is therefore less likely to consider the possibility that this "madman" could be his son. His judgement is clouded by the false accusations of Edmund.
* **Emotional and Psychological State:** Gloucester is deeply traumatized by his blindness, his betrayal (as he believes it), and the political turmoil surrounding him. He is in a state of despair and is not thinking clearly. His mind is preoccupied with his suffering.
* **Irony:** The dramatic irony of the situation is that Edgar is the only loyal son and is trying to help his father. However, because of the circumstances and Edgar's disguise, Gloucester remains tragically unaware of this truth. This heightens the audience's sense of pity and the injustice of the situation.
In essence, Gloucester's physical blindness mirrors his earlier metaphorical blindness to Edgar's true character, caused by his hasty acceptance of Edmund's lies. The physical blindness then prevents him from seeing the son who is now closest to him and trying to lead him to safety and truth.
