The Rabbit Duck and Henry V

Rob Kin's reading of the play is nothing like as good as this inspired analogy might suggest. I don't think that rabbit is a better thing than a duck in any existential sense. The metaphor allows us to see or maybe forces us to see that Henry's presentation is both rabbit and duck. He is both admirable and deplorable. So we can't say that Henry is really admirable but maybe as a secondary meaning he's not so great or vice versa.
