Henry V brings together a rich assortment of nationalities: the French, a Welshman, an Irishman, and even a Scotsman (he’s easy to miss), all of whom submit (eventually) to an English king. Choose two of these nationalities and describe how the play presents them. In the characters of the Dauphin and the other nobles, what does Shakespeare seem to be implying about the French? In Fluellen about the Welsh? In Macmorris about the Irish? In Jamy about the Scots? Be as specific about relevant passages and how you read them.
