Redeeming Time: Henry V’s Transition from‘Comedian’ to King
Original language description
Inspired by the remarkable personage of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his transition from comedian and actor to an inspirational leader admired around the world, this paper will examine the similar fate of Hal/Henry V in Shakespeare’s second Henriad. The focus will be on Henry’s comic “career”, prior to ascending the throne, “slumming” with Falstaff and his followers, in particular in Henry IV Part OneThere will be an attempt to demonstrate how Henry, contrary to expectations, makes profitable use of his time to “learn the ropes”. Henry in his interactions with Falstaff and others employs a wide range of comic techniques: jokes, insult comedy, imitations, political satire, etc.In contrast, however, with Zelensky who has bravely rallied his country and inspired the world with resistance to a larger aggressor in a defensive war, Henry V does the exact opposite invading neighbouring France on the most flimsy of pretexts.
