Good job by everyone today. Shout out to Roberta, Christian, Lakesha, Shatia, Keyla, Geoff, Akeem, Jordan, Morgan, Nick, Renard, Jon, Meg and others for either surprise answers or good reading, and for being on task in class. Others participated but then…
Let’s list the points to remember:
I.1. Bishops - provide examples of both direct and indirect characterization. We know that Hal has really changed because of their comments and that the bishops are ‘sketchy’ because of the deal they appear to work with Henry. I love the metaphor about the strawberry and the nettles – a great example of what makes Shakespeare so different, his attention to words, images and detail.
I.2 Henry shows his new mettle. Keep in mind the themes of Henry’s personal growth, and God and justification. Notice how he plays the bishops and gets them to assume the ‘sin’ if his cause is unjust. Remember the Law Sallic and the robust rogue, Falstaff. He represents Henry’s past that Hal rejects in order to move on and grow as a leader.
Have sonnets ready for tomorrow.
