King Henry IV, Part 2 by William Shakespeare
"King Henry IV, Part 2" by William Shakespeare is a history play written between 1596 and 1599. Prince Hal edges closer to the throne while the aging Falstaff carouses through London's underworld, expecting rewards from his royal friend. King Henry IV battles illness and rebellion as his son's fitness to rule remains questioned. The two worlds collide when Hal becomes king and must choose between his past and his crown. This elegiac
continuation emphasizes Falstaff's mortality and Hal's transformation, culminating in a decisive rejection that reshapes both characters' fates. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
