Henry V's Speech

After a prolonged and close to successful process of memorization I became more acquainted with King Henry V's  Speech. Before the presentation of such speech to his men he had been one of them himself. He had disguised himself as one of the men that would fight because he wanted to have a better understanding of   his men's thoughts and feelings going into war. He realized how unhappy they were with the idea of going into a war that seemed impossible to win against the French. He created this speech in order to raise moral and encourage the men to give a good fight. In his speech he speaks of sharing honor once the war is won. He says that that man which wishes not to fight shouldn't be part of them  at all for he has no right to hare the glory were they to win. It's all the speech really was. It was a successful attempt at getting men to fight a war they were more than likely to lose. The King cared not for loss. Loss was present to him but he didn't think it probable. These men did fight for leaving would make them cowards and staying they would have a minor chance of winning. The men were outnumbered by the French but they went in and fought.
