You are so right and I hang my head in shame. I knew that, which
makes it even sadder... I think I need to put my lit refernces in
the pensive and get them all untangled! So, death of Falstaff --
maybe an HP connection in some future post. Hanging of dear red
nosed Bardolph -- topic of this thread and still a very 'nice'
dramatic mement as Henry realizes he must move past his happy,
childish, self-centered ways and be a leader. Will the same
transition be required of young Harry? (I sort of hope not, but it
is fun to think about.)
