The King's Campaign in France

Henry gets in an unseemly row with these stoic English soldiers. Their sense that they're going to all die really outweighs the propaganda of the chorus. They ask the king in disguise what does the king think of their chances in the battle and the disguised king pleads for the essential humanity of the king. The soldiers however are unmoved by this and they continue to articulate the question that this play cannot either suppress or answer. Is the war in France just? That's what the point of the Archbishop of Canterbury is. He could have settled the quarrel by saying yes the cause is good, but he doesn't.
