Comment: RE: SHK 19.0163 A Pedagogical Question
One thing that you might do, as it focuses on the possibilities inherent
in a play, is to show the St. Crispin's Day speech from Olivier's and
Branagh's films and have the students discuss the similarities and
differences. Then, to further push the point that the choices actors and
directors make create meanings beyond, parallel, or against the literal
meaning of the words, show the brief scene from the movie Renaissance
Man in which one of the trainee soldiers recites part of the speech.

Comment: RE: SHK 19.0163 A Pedagogical Question
How could you not include a discussion of Shakespeare's very right-wing
views on the monarchy, justification for war, and governmental
responsibility? Also his more liberal, perhaps, view on women's rights,
vis a vis the contrast of women in monarchical successions in France and
England.

Jack Heller asks: "What do you teach when you teach HENRY V in a survey
of Shakespeare's plays?"
ANSWER: The bloody self-serving sanctimony of elites, both rulers and
wannabees, then and now.
