"The fewer men, the greater share of honour."




It was interesting to see how different characters felt they could have an influence on the decisions King Henry would make. From the beginning with the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of Ely to King Henry's old friends fighting for loyalty.  King Henry comes into his role and delivers what the people need.
      King Henry motivational lines:
  • "The fewer men, the greater share of honour."
  • "Let me speak proudly: tell the constable We are but warriors for the working-day;"
  • "Take it, brave York. Now, soldiers, march away: And how thou pleasest, God, dispose the day!"
By being able to hear and see these lines after reading I was able to gain greater appreciation for the words that Shakespeare used in allowing King Henry to fulfill his role and lead his people.
