Complex characters, interesting plot, and beautiful English.

i am raising the rating of this considerably from the first time that i read it, i think i sold it short the first time. it was fun returning to the first history play i ever read, and, arguably, the play that lead to me seriously getting into shakespeare. hal continues to be my favorite part of this, though. and i still find falstaff insanely annoying.

Falstaff and his relationship with Prince Hal was the only reason this play even got 2 stars.
