The Growth of Despotism in Europe During the Fifteenth Century For those who, like ourselves, are trained under free institutions, it is hard to realize that great nations are generally those which have been long under the stern discipline of a despotism at last shaken off.
Richard AbelsHOST
if resistance looked to be fruitless.
Richard AbelsHOST
This was so well established as part of both medieval and early modern warfare that Shakespeare saw no problem in having his hero, King Henry V, tell the warden of the besieged city of Hofler,

This is the latest pall we will admit.
EllenHOST
Knits make lace.
Richard AbelsHOST
Yeah, yeah.
Richard AbelsHOST
But by the time that Laurence Olivier began shooting his film version of Henry V in the midst of World War II, and it was meant to promote British patriotism and raise morale, such behavior in warfare was no longer acceptable.
Richard AbelsHOST
He knew that his British audience could not swear the notion that Henry's band of brothers could become, quote, the blind and bloody soldier with foul hand, defiling townsmen's shrilling, shrill-shrieking daughters, dashing out the brains of their most reverend fathers and spitting on pikes their naked infants.

AmityHOST
Let's get started.
AmityHOST
Hey, today we're jumping into Act 3 of Henry V by William Shakespeare.
AmityHOST
There is a lot that happens in this act, and so I'm gonna give a 20-second overview and then go back to the beginning and just start cranking through, giving the details.
AmityHOST
So basically, the English army has landed in France.
23 MINS LATER
AmityHOST
So we can still learn from it that way, but yeah.
LauraHOST
Was he trying to, 'cause I read somewhere a long time ago that he was writing these plays, was he trying to get on somebody's good side by writing it this way?
AmityHOST
I mean, remember that this would not have, like, all things considered, not too far removed from this time, because this would've been just at the end of Henry VIII, beginning of, uh, Queen Elizabeth in- into her reign.
AmityHOST
So we are talking about her ancestors.
Jinkx MonsoonGUEST
Right out the gate, I was playing ornery children in children's theater.
Jinkx MonsoonGUEST
I was playing... character roles in Shakespeare, like I played Mistress Quickly in Henry V, as well as the serving maid to the French princess.
Jinkx MonsoonGUEST
And then Drag Race happened, and the drag element started bringing in new opportunities, right? But I still was feeling like I know exactly which roles to go for as a drag queen.
Jinkx MonsoonGUEST
Like I know which roles would work as a drag performer.

11 MINS LATER
Juan RosHOST
And so how many stars would you give it? I feel
Stacy Macris RosHOST
like I should go through because I do love Kenneth Frong so much.
Stacy Macris RosHOST
And you were like, Henry V is his only
Juan RosHOST
thing.
Noah FilesGUEST
I mean, I couldn't have been more than like seven or eight years old.
Noah FilesGUEST
And my dad, again, being a giant, but he was like my brother, my sister and I down because he had gotten very, very excited over having seen the Kenneth Branagh, Henry V.
Noah FilesGUEST
And he was just so taken with that performance and the delivery of some of that dialogue.
Noah FilesGUEST
He sat us down.
Noah FilesGUEST
It's meant to be seen.
Noah FilesGUEST
It's meant to be performed.
Noah FilesGUEST
And I think you get so much more out of it by, you know, seeing the anguish on Hamlet's face, by seeing the optimism of Henry V at some of those moments.
Noah FilesGUEST
And I think that's what, you know, that's kind of how it was meant to be consumed.
Juan NaulaNARRATOR
Remarkably, not a single senator was executed during Titus' short reign.
Juan NaulaNARRATOR
Similarly to Shakespeare's Henry V, Titus is portrayed in Roman sources as undergoing a momentous personal change upon his accession to the imperial throne.
Juan NaulaNARRATOR
He is shown as suddenly grasping the gravity of his position and becoming a beloved character almost overnight.
Juan NaulaNARRATOR
Whether Titus evolved more gradually or whether his unpopularity as heir has been exaggerated, it is clear that in his short time as emperor, Titus made a deeply positive impression on the Roman people, becoming widely admired as his father had been and being affectionately remembered in the sources both for his stewardship of the empire and his personal traits.
Mark O'NeillHOST
It starts with two Patrick Stuarts.
Mark O'NeillHOST
So Data is in the holodeck doing Henry V.
Mark O'NeillHOST
And Patrick Stewart's there in makeup and stuff doing the dialogue for Memory of the Fifth.
Mark O'NeillHOST
And it cuts to another shot.
Eddie EdwardsHOST
I think the showrunners were planning to do a Shakespeare section without Sir Patrick Stewart.
Eddie EdwardsHOST
And when they told him, oh, you're going to be in the holodeck.
Eddie EdwardsHOST
You're going to be basically watching Data perform Henry V.
Eddie EdwardsHOST
And Sir Patrick's like, great.
