The Rabbit Duck and the Chorus

Henry the fifth changes gear quite surprisingly and quite effortfully in its final act attempting to turn into a romantic comedy. The fact that the princess of France Catherine has no choice about her husband since she is a prize of Henry's victory this fact is completely forgotten. It's hard not to feel that the play thus ends with the sort of pointlessness what has it all actually been for if this miraculous victory was so quickly lost within a generation next week i'm going to look at another play which seems to dramatize apparently incompatible views that play is a measure for measure.
