I love how you made Bardolph’s face red 🤣
This is so cute and informative! I just read this play in my university's Shakespeare class, and this reassured me that I understood everything plot-wise. Thanks!
I'm so glad. Feel free to share it around!
I also want to learn this play ..Can u plz help me??
Plzz
I'm in a Shakespeare class this was the only story I could not get through thank you!
I'm so glad to help!
What didn't you like? This play is the first coming of age story! And the first time all of society is depicted in one play: both Kings and the rabble.
I love how accurate and informative this is for only a few minutes lol
This one is especially short. Glad you liked it!
Hello to all here because of St. John's : ) I saw this two years ago to review a bit before my admitted student seminar. Wonderful little video
Looking forward to part II! I love watching these. : )
+ZombieEatsBooks I'm so glad. Working on it now!
As one of the great fans of Henry IV, Part I, I approve this version! You've captured the heart of the show.
+Katy Mulvaney Oh, Katy I'm tearing up! Thank you! I really loved doing the music for your snappy production.
Wow, this is amazing!! I just read the play for the first time and had so many questions. You answered all of them. With finger puppets! Beautiful job. Look forward to watching more.
+Shannon Ridler Oh, I'm so glad! Reading Shakespeare can be pretty hard because you have to make your own imaginary production in your head, and sometimes that's really tough, especially with History plays where everyone gets referred to by the name of their land or a nickname and (in the case of this play) THREE of the major characters' first names are all Henry.
+BooksandQuestions Thank you for acknowledging that these are challenging! It took me so long to realize people could be referred to by their title, the land they own, their name, their relationship "Hey, cousin" (okay, Shakespeare didn't say "Hey"), their nickname.... it's exhausting! I agree on feeling like you have to make an imaginary production in your head as you read. I have come to make an index card per characters, and then write their relationship/actions/possible motivations on the back of them after each scene I read. It's a bit labour intensive for enjoyment reading, but I find without doing that I have no clue what happened. I'm so looking forward to being able to what your videos to help me understand the works. Thank you!
Absolutely! I have two masters degrees in Shakespeare, and I still have a hard time when I'm reading an unfamiliar play. But I think it's worth the effort! I really like having an idea of the plot before I read a play for the first time, so I have attention to spend on the details, but I find summaries of plays pretty hard to read, and that's where I got the idea to use finger puppets. A lot of my friends are teachers, and I wanted to be able to pass along a quality summary that they could share with their students. I'm so glad it's helping other people too. :) Good luck with your reading, and I'm hoping to do the rest of the English Histories soon!
This helped me a lot. Thank you!
I'm glad!
These are amazing thanks so much!
Well done and without fluff. Thank you.
You're so welcome!
Thanks for this video! Well done and fun. I saw Tom Hanks perform as Falstaff in Henry IV (a mashup of I & I) recently. He was brilliant.
Thank you! I heard about that production: I'm so glad he was good! it seems like just excellent casting. :)
You explain this story very easy to understand, which makes this video very educational :D also, I love your drawing style!
+Bookish Infection Oh, thank you! I hope it can be a resource--a lot of my friends are teachers, and one of the things I'm hoping for with these is that they can help students struggling to understand what they plays are about.
So cuttttte❤️
Thank you!
Loved this!
I'm so glad! I have all the sequels too, if you'd like to see the rest of the story. :)
very helpful!! thank you!!! hopefully I won't fail my test tomorrow
I'm so glad it was helpful. Shakespeare can take a lot of work to understand well.
THANK YOU!!!
you're welcome!
What is the significance of Prince Hal saying "I do, I will"? Why did you emphasize that line specifically?
So... there are a lot of things I love about that moment, partially because those words break apart the fiction of Falstaff pretending to be the King, and partially because it sounds like a vow, almost like a wedding vow. "I do, I will" sounds like promising faithfulness to another person, but in this context he's promising the opposite. He's saying that he's already banished Falstaff in his mind, that he's not going to hold back from banishing Falstaff just like everyone else from Eastcheap.
Cute puppets X-)
Thanks!
Is this Henry based on Bolingbroke?
I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but Prince Hal's dad, Henry IV, is the same person as Henry Bolingbroke in Shakespeare's play Richard II. If you're interested in hearing about how Bolingbroke got the throne I'd watch Richard II.
