Today we finished watching the second and final part of Henry IV in class. During this part of
the play, England is in the middle of a civil war. Powerful rebels have
assembles against King Henry IV and are trying to overthrow him. His son,
Prince Harry, has become very ill and he decides to spend less time with his
low life friends in order to change his ways and get on his father’s goo side
again.
Meanwhile,
King Henry IV grows increasingly sick. He is worried about what will happen
when his wayward son becomes king. Prince Hal comes to the palace and his
father gives him a lesson. Prince Hal vows that he will be a responsible king.
His father forgives him but then dies. Prince Hal, now King Henry V, tells the
Lord Chief Justice, the highest law official in England, that he will now view
him as a father figure. After the rebels have been executed, Hal is formally
crowned King Henry V.
