It's 4:01 ante-meridien.
I'm reading the raw, unabridged, non-prose version of Shakespeare's Henry V. In 5 hours, I have my Communication Issues paper in school. Somewhere outside my window, a car was driving in to the smaller lanes that flank my block.
So far, Henry V is a majestic piece of moving oratory and high-handed political manipulation. My main source of tension in the story is how the so-far righteous, goodly King Henry remains a 'mirror of all Christian kings' in a court so tainted by corruption, betrayal and vested interests.
The real source of tension in the story itself - the one an audience watching a visual/live-action adaptation of the text ought to feel - is England gearing for war with France.
Which hails the notion that life meticulously chooses what it moves in parallel with.
