Henrys Speeches in William Shakespeares Henry V -- Papers Henry V 5

total heats Speeches in William Shakespeares Henry V I will be composing about how Henry V wins the hearts of his men. Using, five main oral communicati adepts that Henry V makes. I think that Henry won the hearts of his men by persuasion. Beforehand, I would like to apologize because I may talk about what Henry says but I truly know this is what Shakespeare wrote. In the first speech the Dauphin presented Henry V with a set of tennis b eithers as a joke and insult. He was suggesting that Henry was a child and not fit for world a king. I expected Henry V to be angry and yell with frustration but I noticed a sudden calm down before Henry started his speech it seemed as though he was collecting his thoughts and thinking how to answer Dauphins so called, joke. Henry used that time exceptionally wisely, he starts off with alliteration (which he also uses in Speeches 3, 4 and 5), Pleasant/ Present/ Pains. These words may belong calm and polite, but all these words need to be said with clenched teeth. I found the line 290, Act One Scene 2, interesting where Henry says, dazzle all the eyes of France, Yea strike the Dauphin blind to look us, Henry compares himself to the sun so bright and successful that the Dauphin would not be able to look up to him, making the Dauphin feel inferior. Henry here plays splendidly with words as we can see throughout the play, Turn his balls to gunstones, Henry changes something as harmless and uncomplicated as tennis balls into weapons of destruction. Henry is often religious and spiritual in his speeches. Here he says, and soul shall stand sore he attacks the Dauphin n... ...e me thinks, me/ fear, fellowship, once again to give a rhythm to his speech and it makes one think about the words said. Henry names the day, Feast of Crispins Day, to me that sounded more of emotional blackmailing than encouragement. Henry says tha t if they win this battle they would be as common as, household words. Shakespeare utilizes the technique of use of three, We few, we happy few, we band of brothers, making it easier for his soldiers to trust him, making him sound more trustworthy. He uses emotional blackmail again as well, Shall be my brothers. I admired how different each speech is. I found it animate how Shakespeare can make Henry sound so trustworthy, sensitive and compassionate and two minutes later he can change the way one seems Henry just by the words he says.
