King Henry VI: Pt. 2 Free
FREE KING HENRY VI: PT. 2 PDF William Shakespeare,Ronald Knowles | 512 pages | 17 Mar 2010 | Bloomsbury Publishing PLC | 9781903436639 | English | London, United Kingdom Henry VI Part 2 Introduction | Shmoop Download M4B 47MB. Whereas 1 Henry VI deals primarily with the loss of England's French territories and the political machinations leading up to the Wars of the Roses, and 3 Henry VI deals with the horrors of that conflict, 2 Henry VI focuses on the King's inability to quell the bickering of his nobles, the death of his trusted King Henry VI: Pt. 2 Duke Humphrey of Gloucester, the rise of King Henry VI: Pt. 2 Duke of York and the inevitability of armed conflict. Henry VI may be viewed as a study in insurrection, which moves from the private and personal jostlings in the court in Part 1 to outright civil war in Part 3. In Part 2 the discord between prominent state officials, notably Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, and Henry Beaufort, Bishop of Winchester, spreads to the common people, fomenting an abortive rebellion, lead by the rascally Kentishman, Jack Cade. With the death of Humphrey, the period of regency for the naive Henry effectively comes to an end, and the unworldly monarch is helplessly exposed to the interminable strife between the factions of the houses King Henry VI: Pt. 2 York and of Lancaster. The structure of the play differs from the other two parts in that there is a central rustic idyll Act 4populated by clownish characters, which recalls the idyllic centrepieces of comedies like A Midsummer Night's Dream and As You Like It.
