A review by abookishjungle
King Henry VI Part 2: Third Series by William Shakespeare

3.0

And so the War of the Roses officially begins!

I've noticed that the more Shakespeare I read the easier it is to read Shakespeare. I'm getting used to the way he uses language and am better able to translate Elizabethean English into a more modern form.

Its interesting how Margaret is portrayed in this...she is both duplicitous (her affair with Suffolk) and so very much stronger than Henry...Shakespeare is getting better at creating characters with nuance and depth and you can see the talent that will later lead to plays like Hamlet and MacBeth.
