I LOVE the cunning of Henry V in Act 2 Scene 2. To be able to wait patiently to embarrass the traitors in the court is more than I could ever have done. If I were king I would've had them thrown in the dungeon first and then interrogated them. To think that just weeks ago Henry was a boy drinking in the tavern with Fallstaff and Mistress Quickly. It just proves to me that men will rise to the position given them regardless of their previous "sins" or attitudes.
I love this line by the chorus and I think it sums up the new found perspective in Henry V
"What mightst thou do, that honour would thee do"
