If anyone here's read Henry V, I need some help with a question in act 5, scene 2:
As Henry speaks to Katherine, it is sometimes nearly a soliloquy on the theme of "a good heart." There is a paradox here, "Henry offers himself as a simple man, but he does so with wit and eloquence" (Brown, lxxiv). Select one passage and note the contradictions. Note also Katherine's reaction
I can definitely see the parodox that Brown's talking about, but going through Henry's conversation with Katherine, I'm having trouble pinning down any specific contradictions.
