King Henry VI, Part 1 by William Shakespeare
Reviews with the most likes.
Tl;dr
-Henry is just a kid, he can't make his own decisions, so he relies on his uncles Gloucester and Winchester to guide him.
-Joan Pucelle (Arc) is a witch, but not really, kinda unclear. She has familiars/spirits she can call on...it's all very strange.
-Talbot, the undefeatable warlord, basically runs the show; his death is the most tragic thing in the play.
-Meanwhile, Plantagenet (York) and Somerset (Lancaster) duke it out for the right of succession. The famed “war of the roses” is the backdrop for Henry VI and Charles le Dauphin's fights.
