    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!

      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.

    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

    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.

    • @PlanetShannonTV
      @PlanetShannonTV 8 лет назад

      +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!

    • @booksandquestions9135
      @booksandquestions9135  8 лет назад

      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!

    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.

      +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.

    What is the significance of Prince Hal saying "I do, I will"? Why did you emphasize that line specifically?

    • @booksandquestions9135
      @booksandquestions9135  4 года назад

      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.

    Is this Henry based on Bolingbroke?

    • @booksandquestions9135
      @booksandquestions9135  5 лет назад +1

      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.
