Falstaff > the 2 Henrys not gonna lie... the son was kinda just motivated by like "wow I'm gonna be so cool when I'm king!" and the dad is just... not good at being king...

I’ve started some of the histories off recommendations. I enjoyed it a lot more than I imagined I would. I’m planning to start part 2 soon so I can find out what happens.

I feel like I enjoyed the first part much more than this second part, but I also many be realizing that the comedies and tragedies are much more suited for me than histories.

After doing some research I found that Part 2 is not as popular as Part 1, so now I understand why.

This was my first history by Shakespeare, and admittedly I found it a little denser than his other plays, but it still captured my attention. Shakespeare uses language like no other, and I found all the history interwoven with fiction fascinating. Review to come.
