Honor is something that is very much illustrated in the play of Henry IV. Analyzing honor in a play such as The First Part of Henry IV can be interesting, yet challenging. Honor is depicted in a variety of ways. To have honor is described by holding such qualities as being loyal, brave, and honest. Shakespeare seemed to prefer someone who had honor in his or her lives. I believe Shakespeare showed this because he …showed first 75 words of 511 total…

…showed last 75 words of 511 total…certain catorgies by their actions. The Hotspur and Mortimer had honor.

Honor is something that highlights the play The First Part of Henry IV. Justifying honor is something that is left up to the reader. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
