reflection of themselves. Nevertheless, another could say that they see the opposite of themselves. Either way of thinking could be correct, but sometimes people are blinded to such an extent by the reflection that they fail to see the opposite.

It is true that there are some differences in the accounts. According to de Wavrin, before Henry V even made it to the French coast, a fire broke out among his fleet and destroyed three large ships (de Wavrin 183-184).

Rabkin starts his second chapter by summarizing that Shakespeare’s art includes a world whose principles are never in doubt, but it is never as simple as one expects. Henry V is another one of Shakespeare’s controversial plays. There have been many different ways of looking at the controversy, but Rabkin argues that they are all wrong. Rabkin states that “Shakespeare created a work whose ultimate power is precisely the fact that it points in two opposite directions” and ultimately, Shakespeare…

Shakespearean Structure (An Analysis of Shakespeare’s choice of structure in Henry V) There are many components of literature that add to its effectiveness. While one may think that literature is merely good or bad based on the plot and use of words that is not necessarily the case. Much of literature is based on the structure of the plot itself. While this can seem like a minute function of a powerful story, it actually lends itself to make the story so powerful. Without proper structure, some…

Richard the II was the first play in Shakespeare’s second tetralogy, Henry IV is the second play in the sequence. We talked briefly about the plot of Richard II and how Bolivar became king Henry IV.
