By and large it researches which image Henry presents of himself in Shakespeares King Richard II. Are there certain ethnical values recognisable in his behaviour that are really important to him? In which way is he dealing with his allies and his enemies? Are there any characteristics noticeable that were clearly necessary for his success against Richard? What are his actual intentions?
