Fathers and Sons in Shakespeare’s “Part I, Henry IV”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the relationship, expectations, and emotions that exist between a father and son. Each clearly wants the other to be proud of him and each wants the respect of the other. In typical father-son relationships, the outside observer almost always sees the truth of the personalities involved more clearly than either the actual father or son is capable of seeing. The audience should remember in its judgment of Hal that King Henry is a strong shrewd politician and a capable warrior and wants to be assured that his son will be worthy of the throne his father will give him.
