Quote #10
YORK
From Ireland thus comes York to claim his right
And pluck the crown from feeble Henry's head.
Ring, bells, aloud! Burn, bonfires, clear and bright
To entertain great England's lawful king! (5.1.1-4)
It's important that we know York's plans throughout the play. His long, calculated ambition helps us understand his goals and understand why he goes for the crown in the end. Does this cast York's ambition in a different light from Suffolk's, Margaret's, or Beaufort's? Are we more accepting of York's goals because they seem more rational and planned?
