TRANSLATION

FLUELLEN
An please your Majesty, let his neck answer for it, if there is any martial law in the world.
FLUELLEN
If it pleases your Majesty, let his neck pay the price, if there is any martial law in the world.

KING HENRY
How canst thou make me satisfaction?
KING HENRY
How can you square things with me?

WILLIAMS
All offenses, my lord, come from the heart. Never came any from mine that might offend your Majesty.
WILLIAMS
All offenses come from the heart, my lord, and nothing intended to offend your Majesty ever came from mine.

KING HENRY
It was ourself thou didst abuse.
KING HENRY
You abused me to my face.

WILLIAMS
Your Majesty came not like yourself. You appeared to me but as a common man. Witness the night, your garments, your lowliness. And what your Highness suffered under that shape, I beseech you take it for your own fault and not mine, for, had you been as I took you for, I made no offense. Therefore, I beseech your Highness pardon me.
WILLIAMS
Your Majesty didn’t present yourself as the king. You represented yourself as just a common man. Consider the time of night, what you were wearing, and how ordinary you looked. Anything your Highness suffered in that disguise, I beg you to see it as your own fault and not mine, because if you’d been what I took you for, there would have been no offense. Therefore, I beg your Highness, pardon me.

KING HENRY
Here, uncle Exeter, fill this glove with crowns
And give it to this fellow.—Keep it, fellow,
And wear it for an honor in thy cap
Till I do challenge it.—Give him the crowns.
—And, captain, you must needs be friends with him.
KING HENRY
Here, uncle Exeter, fill this glove with gold coins and give it to this fellow. Keep it, my friend, and wear it as a badge of honor in your cap until I challenge it.—Give him the money.—And you, Captain, must make it up with him.

55
FLUELLEN
By this day and this light, the fellow has mettle enough in his belly.—Hold, there is twelve pence for you, and I pray you to serve God and keep you out of prawls and prabbles and quarrels and dissensions, and I warrant you it is the better for you.
FLUELLEN
By this day and this light, the fellow is certainly brave. Here, twelve pence for you. I urge you to serve God and stay out of brawls and dust-ups and quarrels and disputes. I promise it will be better for you if you do.

60
WILLIAMS
I will none of your money.
WILLIAMS
I’ll have none of your money.


FLUELLEN
It is with a good will. I can tell you it will serve you to mend your shoes. Come, wherefore should you be so pashful? Your shoes is not so good. 'Tis a good silling, I warrant you, or I will change it.
FLUELLEN
It’s meant in good will. I tell you, you can use it to get your shoes fixed. Come, why be so hesitant? Your shoes are in pretty bad shape. It’s a good shilling, I promise you. If not, I’ll get another one for you.

KING HENRY
This note doth tell me of ten thousand French
That in the field lie slain. Of princes in this number
And nobles bearing banners, there lie dead
One hundred twenty-six. Added to these,
Of knights, esquires, and gallant gentlemen,
Eight thousand and four hundred, of the which,
Five hundred were but yesterday dubbed knights.
So that in these ten thousand they have lost,
There are but sixteen hundred mercenaries.
The rest are princes, barons, lords, knights, squires,
And gentlemen of blood and quality.

KING HENRY
This paper tells me of ten thousand Frenchmen who lie dead on the battlefield. Among them are one hundred twenty-six princes and standard-bearing nobles. Add to these eight thousand four hundred knights, squires, and brave gentlemen, five hundred of whom were given the title of knight only yesterday. Among the ten thousand the French have lost only sixteen hundred are mercenaries. The rest of the dead are princes, barons, lords, knights, squires, and gentlemen of birth and rank

Line learning

This technique that Simon showed us has really help me learn my lines and i will be using it in the future, it really help with breaking down your text and makes you think while using it now if i'm stuck on a line i no longer read the words them selfs but look at the letter and figure out the next word. I am still finding it hard though to learn the lines i feel like i don't fully understand a lot of what i'm staying to my next task with the pages below is going to be so fully translate the pages and get to know what i am saying because this will make my line learning much easier.

                                         CHARACTER

For my characters i have made them quite similar in some ways they share characteristics and this is how i have connected the two. When we were asked to create our factory working i already knew i was playing henry so this gave me an idea into what my factory worker  would be like. i immediately found my character to be cold and isolated from the other workers she went there to work and thats it not to make friends. She has respect from everyone in the factory they know not to get on the wrong side of her. when the telegraph arrives she is not responsive and just ignores it completely but inside she is in a lot of pain.

FACTORY WORKER:

NAME: Elizabeth Thompson

 AGE: 43                                 

         OCCUPATION : Factory worker 

            FAMILY : Husband and son at war

       BACKGROUND: Middle class,
lives with her sister and sisters
husband, her husband and her son. 
she is saving up for when her son
gets back from the war so she can put
him into a good school. she has been married
for 23 years.

PERSONALITY: 
Strong
hardworking
empathetic
loving (to those she's close with)
loyal 
straight talking 
careering mother





HENRY V

(taken from http://www.sparknotes.com/shakespeare/henryv/canalysis.html internet summary)

Though a substantial number of scenes focus on other characters, Henry directly initiates nearly all of the significant action in the play, and he is without question the play’s protagonist and hero. Henry is an extraordinary figure who possesses a degree of intelligence and charisma only briefly glimpsed in Shakespeare’s twoHenry IV plays. There Henry V appears as a pleasure-seeking teenage prince who wrestles with his role as an heir to the throne.

I myself, have taken my character and interpreted him in my own way, he is a strong character and he is intelligent and determined, and in my section the last scenes, he shows the audience two sides to him. He celebrates the war and his overall win and shows his more aggressive side, but as he speaks to Catharine he shows a softer and more gentle side. 


My challenge now is too become this character of henry but also have in the back of my head that i am this factory worker Elisabeth. 

Rachel Lincoln - Movement Director

This session for me was the most helpful it really helped me to have a further understanding for my character. The aim of the lesson was for us to find our inner man adopting conventional male characteristics into our bodies.

We started the session focused on our coats (clothing) and they way we remove and put on our coat and experimented with putting them on in different ways and in different scenarios, e.g. 'It freezing out side' - this made me put the coat on with great pace to shield my-self from the cold. 'its boiling hot' this was taking the coat off and i did it slowly whilst trying to loosen my clothing. this was a good way of being aware of the way you do things so in order to change it when becoming a different person. Rachel said that when becoming a character change the little things that they do don't do them as you would do them, tie your shoes in a different way or poor your tea differently all these things will help you develop your character.

After that exsersize we then imagend our coats where a solders uniform and we took them on and off and we notised that we where very careful with the coats. they were the identaty to who these men were. We were then asked to walk around the space in our coats as uniform and too see how that effected the way we walked we all walked around the space with a perpose and it was very interesting to see how peoples physacality changed.

After this we put Our coats to the side and we were asked to stand in a space. We had to put our hand up if we could name a part of the body that was different in men then in woman. and once we had these all named we spoke about how to adopt these physicalitys. the most inportand things that were mentioned where.

Pelvis is foward
legs far apart
footsteps where heavier
minimal movement in the hips
head, shoulders, chest where all coneccted and spaced out

Once we had this down we where asked to find somewhere to sit down and relax we where told that men take up a lot more space then woman, legs apart arms maybe behind head and we spend some time getting used to being in this physicality.

We the worked on the opening factory scene and we had to get into groups of 4-6 and divise a small section on loop that represented assembly line or factory life. and once everyone had created theres we put them all together and created the opening.
