RICHARD THE SECOND TEXT RESPONSE ESSAY ‘Richard sees kingship as something inborn, Bolingbroke sees it as politics.’ Discuss. In the play Richard II, Shakespeare contends the need for alteration in the method of power from rule by divine right to rule by competency. Shakespeare authored the play during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, who was deemed to be a flawed queen at the end of her rule. Certainly the play is an allegory and Richards’s crimes are in fact her crimes. Shakespeare first…

Many historians wonder what is the most sole significant achievement of Henry VII’s – making the crown of England dynasty or making the country itself better. On 21st April 1509 Henry VII sadly passed away, leaving the crown to his youngest son, Henry VIII. Henry VIII then later married Catherine of Aragon on 11th June and after had their coronation on 24th June 1509 at Westminster Abby. Henry VII’s sole achievement was to pass the throne onto his son, which he did manage to pass the throne…

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…

they are also a double reference to the Antichrist. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND In order for the argument that Antiochus IV Epiphanes is a form of the Antichrist to be understood, appropriate attention must be given to who Antiochus was and his impact on the Jewish people. Antiochus was ruler of the Seleucid Empire from 175-164 B.C., and assumed the throne after his older brother Seleucus IV Philopator. He is known for his conquests of…

The foremost and consummate antichrist type in the Bible is Antiochus Epiphanes. In the book, “The Understanding of Ornament in the Italian Renaissance”, author Clare Lapraik Guest, states that his processions, “contained temporal allegories and robed statues of the gods plus mythological scenes.” In 168 B.C. he conquered Jerusalem, and inside the Jewish temple, slaughtered a pig on an idol he built to the god, Jupiter. In referencing the Abomination of Desolation in the book of Daniel, Christ…

In that view, the church replaces — or as they would say — “fulfills” — Israel. There is no further national program for Israel nor is there a future earthly kingdom lasting for 1000 years with Christ ruling from Jerusalem. This millennial (which means 1000 years) view is called Amillennialism (meaning: no literal millennium). I reject that view in favor of what’s called Premillennialism which basically says that Christ will return before the millennium to set up His 1000-year kingdom on earth.…

How successfully did Henry VII deal with the problems he faced during his reign? The success of Henry VII is clearly seen throughout is reign in the number of defining, long-lasting but generally political un-taxing decisions he made.

While there were a number of failures during reign, none of them were particularly devastating and…

In Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part I, King Henry often laments his son’s unseemly behavior through well-thought-out speeches and superior language. Yet, in spite of Hal’s reputation as a villainous disgrace to the royal line, on multiple occasions, Hal speaks in an ornate and regal manner. The audience, unlike King Henry, is aware of Hal’s potential as a highly capable leader through the similarities between King Henry and Hal’s speech patterns. Thus the difference in the king’s perspective of Hal…
