For what ostensible purpose does Shakespeare populate the cast of Henry V with representatives of various nationalities of the British Isles? Any dramatic reason for doing this? Any hints of “classism” here? See the play again, carefully, especially King Henry’s “St. Crispin’s Day” speech before Agincourt and his reading the roll of the dead after the battle.Each exam response must not exceed two pages in length. Because of space limitations, you should avoid using quotations that take up more than three lines or so (such brief quotations will be part of your text).
You do not need to give titles for your responses or provide a Works Cited page for the exam. Mention any secondary sources internally in the text of your response and cite parenthetically.
Formatting instructions:
Quotations from Shakespeare’s plays and other sources should be cited parenthetically (i.e., internally). Important: All quotations must be introduced grammatically and given appropriate context.

Note: Quotations from Shakespeare’s plays are cited by act, scene, and line number(s)—not page numbers. Important: The citation for the quotation from a paper on Richard III given above—“1.3.334-36”—is correct; “I.iii.334-36” would be incorrect.

Each response should be in the form of a well-reasoned argument that makes specific use of the primary text as well as meaningful use of relevant secondary sources.
