Shakespeare's Henry IV, part 1--Discussion and Summary

[@frankrubino1883]

Thank you professor, I am 74 years old and now a retired physician. I am taking a class regarding Henry IV to “develop my liberal arts background.” It is offered at our local YMCA. Our class and your insights are greatly appreciated. 🙏

Dude! thank you for the shout out! I love this play, it’s such a banger. I wish it had a different title actually, because I think people get put off by the fact that it’s a history play and they think it’ll be boring. I vote we start calling it “A Tale of Two Harrys” 😂

Yes! Let’s do it! Also, anything with “part one” in the title is a hard sell. People’s eyes glaze over when they see the title, but it’s so dynamic and character driven and well balanced. A seriously brilliant play.

It could also be styled as "A Tale of Four Henrys," since the father of Prince Hal and the father of Harry Hotspur are also named "Henry."
