Summary
I just finished watching a YouTube lecture series called, "Shakespeare & Politics," taught by professor Paul Cantor at Harvard, and I recently wrote 4 articles which I also turned into podcast episodes, so let's see if we can turn Shakespeare's King Henry V into a game based lesson.
How would you have treated your friends, like Sir John Falstaff, after becoming king?
At the conclusion of the lesson I would come back to these ideas and show how they apply to the decisions King Henry had to make.
In King Henry's choice concerning the battle of Agincourt we would have the following consequences starting with the first multiple choice option.
France had been humiliated by this young king's invasion, and the young King Henry was insulted by the Dauphin's treatment.
To Simulate King Henry V's predicament I would use a series of card draws to simulate the series of choices that need to be made.
Which results in the death of the king's best friend and only fully trusted advisor, a very poignant and longstanding relationship as depicted in this edited sequence of scenes from the film, "The King.".
