There are so many ways to read Henry V, but one that I've been thinking about a lot lately is focusing on it as a story being constructed around Henry after his death.
Because Hal isn't just dead, he's a dead soldier. (Even if he died after the war was over, we see him as a soldier by the way the story is told.)
There's such a fundamental loss of personhood in that (one that isn't present in just being a soldier), that works so well with the themes of the play. I did, unfortunately, lose some friends to war- and I always found it kinda horrifying watching those stories being created.
They all have to be heroes, of course- what happened in their last moments is truly irrelevant, and that means they have to be soldiers forever. Every flaw is sanded out, every doubt or regret is swept under the carpet. It doesn't matter if they wanted to be there or not, or if they should have, or if they did the right thing. It doesn't matter who they were before either- at least, it's not a part of *this* story, because we aren't talking about the person, we're talking about the hero.
Doesn't that sound kind of familiar when thinking about the Henriad?
So I think it’s very interesting to see HV as an unreliable narrative through that lens. We saw Hal, we know Hal- this story is not about him. Henry V isn't Hal not only because his character made an in-universe choice to change, but also because the story can't let him be.
I think this works especially well when you look at scenes like when Henry commands the killing of the hostages. He does it twice, each time for a different reason- isn't it interesting to think of it as the story blurring as it tries to fit that moment into a heroic narrative?
Idk if it's my favorite reading but I do think it's an interesting way to look at it

the "rip ___ you would have loved ___" meme is inherently more fun with ancient characters. rip clytemnestra you would have loved morse code. rip theseus you would have loved the airtag. rip callisto you would have loved wearing shorts.
i was going to write "rip pentheus you would have loved estrogen" but i lost it at "rip pentheus" because that is. what happened

Clues with a γ are Greek words. Phrases in quotes (that aren't Lear) are headers from Loraux. This is in the rough shape of a different poetry form, if you can figure it out. Good luck.

modern day version of the wedding of peleus and thetis where eris goes onto their wedding's facebook event page and comments "hetslop" on all of their wedding photos before finding a picture of athena, hera, and aphrodite together and leaving a comment telling everybody to rate each of them out of 10
prince hal would be on the accord server like you wouldn't even begin to believe. prince hal would be creating a cult of personality around himself and his totally masculine urge to be a big tiddy goth gf. hamlet knows that she herself is a trans woman but hal is boobs fuckin deep in the idea that he's a real man who is going to turn it all around once he wins that million. if he starts to feel the denial slipping he's going to double down even harder. he's going to eliminate falstaff in discursive combat. ned poins disappearing during henry iv part 2? yeah, that was her realizing she was trans and quietly dipping out, away from the server and hal's life. hal would be laura 100%, hal would be laura 200 fucking percent. hamlet is like "i am going to strip you flesh from bone for what you did to horatio" and hal is like "with what muscles, gxrlfriend?" it's a fucking nightmare on that server.
will somebody please please write "herein i will imitate the sun" but for prince hal deciding he's only gonna be a woman for a LITTLE longer until he wins the giant boobs competition and THEN he'll turn his shit around he promises

coming up with bad ship names for shakespeare's henriad
bordeauxlingbroke: almost sounds respectable like an old fashioned classic fandom ship name. -1 point however because he's called richard of bordeaux like twice the whole play and only after he's deposed
henrichard: sure but why does richard take up so much space. i mean it's as he would've wanted
richhenry: too generic. this could be literally any 2 guys. also sounds like we're just calling him rich
four two (iv ii): +1 point for possible gen alpha appeal (you could say it like "six seven") -1 point because no one will know what the fuck this means
hoins: i think "halpoins" is the actual ship name for these two but consider: why don't we make it worse
hed poinsmouth: why don't we make it worse 2
nal monmoins: why don't we make it worse 3
halercy: an alternative to the commonly used "halspur", but with hotspur's actual last name. a mouthful to say. sounds like an alcohol brand
henry ^2: actually why aren't we using this one
hotkate: a sexy and fresh alternative to the commonly used "katespur", implying that kate is hot. it could also be "hotskate" which suggests some kind of skater vibe
can i suggest dickbroke for r2/bolingbroke
YES or maybe bolingdick or dicklingbroke... wait oh my god what about richardbroke. it's also the plot summary of the play so it's perfect.
10/10
omg richardbroke.....or dare i even say, richbroke. also the plot and demonstrates the mutually destroying equilibrium those two have going on
name: henry (harry if we're friends)
pronouns: he/him, sometimes we/us (royal)
sexuality: probably straight
likes: my dad, england, rebellion when i'm the one doing it, being in touch with the common people, going to the holy land, the idea of being king
dislikes: my son, rebellion when it's against me, being in touch with the common people but when it's my son doing it, when people won't give me things that belong to me (i.e. hostages, inheritance), actually being king
DNI if you: support the earl of northumberland (we used to be mutuals but he unfollowed me and i don't want to talk about it), are a r*chard apologist, fit other standard DNI criteria
please do NOT message me about mortimer, news of my unthrifty son, or the blood on my guilty hand. i've had to turn off anon because of this. if you send me another ask i am reporting and blocking you

AITA for waiting to talk to my cosine face to face after he stole my inheritance?
So, for some context, my (32m) and my cousin's (32m, we'll call him Dick) entire family works in government. Dick has the most influential position, though it's an open secret that he only got it because of his dad, and if I'm honest, he's very bad at it.
A few years ago, our uncle died. There was a big family drama around it, and it ended with me having to leave the country.
While I was abroad, my father died, and Dick used the fact that I wasn't in the country to steal my inheritance. He did this through a total abuse of his power, and it was personally very insulting (not to mention I needed that money for when I came back home). In addition to the money, he has taken my father's personal possessions and a house I hoped to give to my son one day (which Richard can't understand since he has no children). My son is a whole different problem I wouldn't get into in this post.
Here is where I might be the asshole. Because of the situation of my inheritance, I came back early to our home country. I'll admit I chose to come when I knew Dick was on a business trip, because I preferred not to deal with him directly.
While staying with our uncle, I met some of my friends who updated me on the situation in the country. It became clear that people think I'm more qualified for Dick's job than he is.
I'm fully aware that my getting that job is also related to nepotism, but I can't pretend that I wouldn't do a better job than Dick.
Now our uncle says Dick might lose his job (and maybe go to jail), all because I came home and that I'm the asshole. I think that someone would've replaced Dick at some point with or without me, and my uncle should be happy it would at least stay in the family.
Anyway, I didn't come back to take RDick's job, I just wanted to settle the inheritance situation.
Am I the asshole?
