护国公碧血丹心遭构陷,狠公爵虎视眈眈谋篡位。
The Second Part of Henry the Sixth presents a kind of story that was popular before Shakespeare began writing, tracing the fall of powerful individuals to their untimely deaths. The first to go is the Duke of Gloucester, Lord Protector of England and the most powerful man in the kingdom, who is murdered after his wife goes into exile.
《亨利六世(中)》是莎士比亚早期创作的英国历史剧,其中篇内容概括亨利六世24岁到34岁(1445-1455)年间的英国历史,主要是国王所属兰开斯特家族(红玫瑰为家徽)的衰落和约克家族(白玫瑰为家徽)的逐步兴起,以及在玫瑰战争期间人民困苦,发生以杰克•凯德为首的民变的情况。
Henry V ends with the Chorus speaking an epilogue in sonnet form. It offers a forward look that somewhat deflates the triumph of Agincourt. King Henry, the ‘star of England’, will live but a small time. ‘The world’s best garden’, having been brought to order by his charismatic arts, will soon be choked with weeds. His son will be crowned King of France and England whilst still an infant. So many rivals then had the managing of his state ‘That they lost France and made his England bleed, / Which oft our stage hath shown.’ Shakespeare thus reminds his audience that his cycle of history plays is complete: the sequence from Richard II to Henry V at this point joins on to the earlier written tetralogy of the three parts of Henry the Sixth and Richard III. Sometimes gathered together in modern productions under a title such as The Wars of the Roses or The Plantagenets, these plays tell the story of England’s self-scarring and ‘dire division’.
In The Second Part, the war with France is brought to an end by the marriage of King Henry VI to Margaret of Anjou, but the weak king cannot prevent the rise of the Yorkist faction.
