King Henry IV by William Shakespeare

King Henry IV by William Shakespeare is a play based on history, a history of a kingdom in midst of war. To single out any one character as the hero would be biased. War is a conflict in which both sides are fighting for their beliefs and a hero of one side would be an enemy of the other. Who is right? Is a question we must ask ourselves but one that has multiple answers. …

…any moment, treason is always a major fear, and political ambush is a common occurance. People will always be looking out for their own interests and as a result there will be wars and lose of life. Therefor how can any one character be singled out as a hero. Perhaps a hero is one that sets aside his own agendas and needs, to help others and aid in quests that will serve the greater good.
