1) You have to read it. You know why.
2) You need to read it so I have someone with which to talk about it.
3) You should read it because it's fucking great and terrible and I'm not sure how I feel about so many things.
4) Someone else needs to watch this David Tennant version for me, because I have questions about choices they made (no spoilers, but AUMERLE. Aumerle, you guys).
5) Ugh, this fucking play.
6) The action closely precedes that of the next play which will be a vastly more enjoyable (or at least, less painful) read, Henry IV, part 1, which includes one of my favorite Shakespeare characters, Prince Hal.
7) John of Gaunt's "This England" speech is incredible.
8) Just do it, you guys.
(Picture copyright of the BBC or RSC or someone. Not mine. From the play that you need to watch. They are taking it down the autumn of 2016, so watch before then, okay? And then come back and hold me.)
