This fusion of these two opposing political philosophies makes the tetralogy a work of political theory, and the subtle manner in which the plays promote this theory, makes the tetralogy a work of genius. The King applies the questions of why the ship boy can sleep in a terrible storm, and he is awake with no rage of the water to keep him stirring.
In the tetralogy, the rigid Tudor doctrine which places emphasis completely on a ruler's accountability only to God combines with the diametrically opposed Machiavellian theory that only an exemplary statesman has the right to govern. Shakespeare uses hyperboles to create the atmosphere of how wonderful and blessed King Henry’s bedroom is with sweet melodies and beautiful drapes. When Henry V ascends the throne with the combination of Richard's divine authority and his own father's political sophistication, we see the perfect monarch ruling over England, and the amalgamation of two divergent political philosophies. Then should the warlike Harry, like himself, Shakespeare's Reputation in Elizabethan EnglandĪnd monarchs to behold the swelling scene!
