King Henry IV Part One and Two

Responsibility and Honor-- In Henry IV Part 2 Hal continues his journey of growth becoming a man fit to hold the throne of England. He distances himself from John Falstaff and takes up important responsibilities for his father the King. For his part Falstaff is looking forward to a time when Hal becomes King and rewards him for his friendship. Rumour is a pipe Blown by surmises jealousies conjectures And of so easy and so plain a stop That the blunt monster with uncounted heads The still-discordant wavering multitude Can play upon it.
