Yay, Henry VI!
Wow, so cool to have found the Henry VI fandom. I've followed you all!
I mostly want to talk about the plays. I've enjoyed fan fics, but for some reason I'm less interested in fan fics for this play.
I would love to hear any and all thoughts about this play!
So, one of my thoughts. Isn't Rutland's tutor an amazing person? I mean, he's taught Rutland basically everything he knows. He refuses to save his life by abandoning him. When the soldiers drag him off to kill him, Rutland argues for his life using classical rhetorical methods, then curses his killer in Latin. I couldn't do all that and I've been through graduate school.
Rutland and his tutor break my heart every time.
Thoughts?
