This is a world that is broken into two parts by a new, inexperienced king, who struggles to knit the world back together through violence and domination. Ultimately, by switching tactics to overcome barriers of language and culture, Henry succeeds in stitching the world back into one piece.

Together with Ancient Pistol.” This version of the play is considerably shorter and slightly different than the “canonical” version featured in the First Folio, most notably in the absence of the Folio’s distinctive Chorus.
