Henry Iv Part Sir Toby
1,024 wordsIn most of the plays written by William Shakespeare there is always some act of revenge or foolery. Whether it be in the gentlest of terms or set out to hurt someone intentionally, it is almost always present. Trickery can be seen in many ways. It can be simply calling some one names, or actually setting up a particular person despite the fact he / she has done nothing wrong. The two plays I found the strongest connections with are Twelfth Night and Henry IV (part one). These two plays, while to...

Coming Of Age Back And Forth
1,040 wordsIn The First Part of King Henry the Fourth, Shakespeare presents Prince Hal; a young man faced with his coming of age as king.

Prince Hal V Iv
1,126 wordsSir John Falstaff has a number of functions in 1 Henry IV, the most obvious as a clownish figure providing comic relief. His many lies and exaggerations entertain because of the wit and cleverness he employs to save himself from paying debts and answering for crimes. He in many ways represents an everyman -- a sinner with little shame or honor, who nonetheless maintains at least an outward concern for honor and appearances. 'If sack and sugar be a fault, God help the wicked! If to be old and mer...

King Henry Iv King Richard Ii
1,602 wordsIn writing his history plays, Shakespeare was actually commenting on what he thought about the notion of kingship. Through his plays, he questions the divine right of kings, which the kings and the aristocracy used heavily in their favour to win the people's love. In Macbeth, King Richard II and King Henry IV part 1, Shakespeare shows us his opinion of kingship in general. Although the plays are written about individual kings, I think that Shakespeare used the plays as an opportunity to voice hi...

Falstaff is considered by many to be one of the greatest comic inventions ever.
