im doing another ask because you write such good essays and i want to know your thoughts on the henriad

Well this answer isn’t gonna be so great. But. I’ve never read it. The only Henry play I own is Henry V and I still haven’t gotten around to reading it (probably because I’m still trying to finish my summer reading) (which is taking forever) (because the book is fairly boring) (it’s The Longest Day by Cornelius Ryan) (it’s about d-day and it’s very detailed) (but it doesn’t focus on any specific person- instead each chapter focuses on a place or a group of people and tells you what’s up with them)

But anyway. Back to the Henriad. So as I said- I never read any Henrys and the only one I own is Henry V. BUT I could tell you all about the cover of Henry V at least (because as the expression goes, always judge a book by its cover).

So here on the cover there’s a group of 4 men (maybe 5?) holding the legs of s suit of armor (that may or may not have someone in it?). The suit of armor is being lifted up by a pulley.

Now I have no idea what that’s supposed to mean, but I can assume that it’s gonna be an interesting story when I finally get around to reading it.

EDIT: I’ve made the mistake of not including a picture of it. So here it is:
