According to Henry V “God’s peace! I would not lose so great an honour As one man more, methinks, would share with me. For the best I have . O , do not wish one more.” Henry was not the type of person to backing down from a fight. Henry V makes his men feel valued and equal by giving them confidence, considering those men his brothers, and by naming this bad day The Feast of Crispian.
Henry V makes his men feel valued and equal by showing them what fighting with confidence instead of fear looks like. Henry V stated in his speech that is he died ,he will die with honour along with everyone else who might die. “We would not die in that man’s company, that fears his fellowship to die with us.” If Henry were to let his fear get the better of him then France would have won that war and he would have died. Henry V wanted them men to fight hard and live on because “This story shall the good man teach his son”. To live on and tell this story would be amazing because it is also a life lesson and Henry V would not have been able to defeat France if it wasn’t for his men. …show more content…
Henry V also considers his men like brother, which is another way to make them feel valued, like they are part of the family.
“We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile.” If Henry and his men did not have the trust or the relationship that they did more would have died. If Henry and his men went down, they wanted to go down fighting they did not want to give up of back down. “From this day to the ending of the world, But we shall be remembered.” All Hery cared about was defeating the france and if that was not possible and he ended up losing his life he wanted to be remembered for the good he
did.
Henry V names this day the feast of Crispian, and this makes the men who die deaths seem important. “He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, Will stand a tiptoe when the day is named, And rouse him at the name of Crispian.” Henry V wants all the men and young men who died in the fight be remembered.
Giving confidence, considering his men brothers, and giving this dreadful day a name in remembrance of the men that lost their lives. Henry V wanted a good fight and he wanted his men to be ready and fearless. All the men were going to fight as hard as they could and if they were to die in the process they would have a Crispin day to remember them.
