I liked this a lot more than I thought I would, I really enjoyed the banter between the Prince and Falstaff. Had to read it for a Shakespeare class I'm taking

It was alright. I think it is one of the histories I prefer, but I still feel like it is a little bit dry. I liked the tension between hal and hotspur though

I love Shakespeare's histories, weird I know. We see Hal, Henry Prince of Wales, go from a boy causing trouble to a man with responsibilities. His best mate, Falstaff, is showing his true colours more and more. Ultimately, this play comes to a choice: Who will Hal love more? His people, his country? His friends? Himself?
Moderate: Chronic illness and Death
