Hello! #TheTempest_2025 #HenryVI_2025
Option A it is (Richard III, John, Henry VIII).
Also, it makes sense to read King John who stood up to papal tyranny before Henry VIII flexed his muscles.

#henryvi_2025 I just read the Bhagavad Gita which is part of a story of a dynastic struggle which cousins should have the throne. Very similar to HVI. It feels eerie when ones reading coincidentally matches. Its like a sign.

V, 6. Shakesp breaking new ground here? Explaining Gloster's twistedness from his grim birth and his mother's reaction. Love that Shaksp cared how villains are made and love this performance of Ian Holm's. Evil is always more interesting in drama than good. #henryvi_2025 youtube.com/clip/UgkxhNw...

King Henry VI:
Thy mother felt more than a mother's pain,
And, yet brought forth less than a mother's hope,
To wit, an indigested and deformed lump,
Not like the fruit of such a goodly tree.
Teeth hadst thou in thy head when thou wast born,
To signify thou camest to bite the world:

GLOUCESTER.
And not in me: I am myself alone.
...
Clarence, thy turn is next, and then the rest,
Counting myself but bad till I be best.
I'll throw thy body in another room
And triumph, Henry, in thy day of gloom.
Part 3, Act V s6 #HenryVI_2025 Richard reveals himself, Edward apprehensive. (1/2)

See how my sword weeps for the poor King’s death!
O, may such purple tears be always shed
From those that wish the downfall of our house!
If any spark of life be yet remaining,
Down, down to hell; and say I sent thee to thither:
(Stabs him again)

The King's Private Chapel in The Wakefield Tower at the Tower of London. The chapel is associated with Henry VI who was supposedly murdered while at prayer in the chapel in 1471. (Historic Royal Palaces)
KING HENRY
So flies the reckless shepherd from the wolf;
So first the harmless sheep doth yield his fleece,
And next his throat unto the butcher's knife.
William Shakespeare

V, 7. Must end in Lego to dispel the bileish taste of "re-purchased" victory by a two-term pretender. Edward played by Professor Frink, Queen Bess is Selma, Marge's sister, I think. Cute baby! And so thus endeth #henryvi_2025 3 Henry VI. youtube.com/clip/UgkxLE0...

Queen Margaret:
Where is that devil's butcher,
Hard-favour'd Richard? Richard, where art thou?
Thou art not here: murder is thy alms-deed;
Petitioners for blood thou ne'er put'st back.

V.5 - couldn't resist sharing this 2nd clip from BBC/RSC War of the Roses (1965.) Ian Holm conveying Gloster's eerie avidity in just a few seconds. His face! All is known. #henryvi_2025 youtube.com/clip/Ugkxvu-...

QUEEN MARGARET
But if you ever chance to have a child,
Look in his youth to have him so cut off
As, deathsmen, you have rid this sweet young prince!

QUEEN MARGARET.
My tears gainsay, for every word I speak,
Ye see I drink the water of my eye.
Therefore no more but this: Henry, your sovereign,
Is prisoner to the foe, his state usurped
...
You fight in justice.

Queen Margaret
We will not from the helm to sit and weep,
But keep our course, though the rough wind say no,
From shelves and rocks that threaten us with wrack.

Near Tewksbury, in Gloucestershire.
QUEEN MARGARET.
Great lords, wise men ne'er sit and wail their loss,
But cheerly seek how to redress their harms.
The cable broke, the holding-anchor lost,
And half our sailors swallowed in the flood?
