Review # 1 was written on 2015-08-21 00:00:00 Luis Ruelas There are lots of things about this play that please and impress me, but somehow I don't think it quite works. The best things about it are two scenes probably by Fletcher: the sympathetic portrait of Katharine of Aragon's self-defense and the dignified soliloquy of the disgraced Cardinal Wolsey after his fall. The next best thing is the artful, ironic context Shakespeare builds around them, first by creating a magnificent description of the wrestling match staged between Henry VIII and Francis I --evoking a golden age in much the same way that Enobarbus' barge-speech does in Antony and Cleopatra--and then following it almost immediately with the fall of the Duke of Buckingham, engineered on trumped-up charges by the Machiavellian Wolsey. Thus the authors let us know early on that the nobility here is superficial, barely concealing calculation and self-interest. I think the major reasons the play as a whole is unsatisfactory is that Henry VIII never really comes to life, either as a king or a man, and the ending--which seems to imply that "all's well that ends well" because of the birth of Elizabeth--leaves the major dramatic issues unresolved. Still, the verse is often effective and occasionally powerful, and I think every Shakespeare fan should read it--at least once.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-05-06 00:00:00 Philip Held Book Review 3 of 5 stars to Henry VIII, a play written in 1613 by William Shakespeare. This play originally had a different title and there is also some suspicion that it was co-written with another person at the time. It was towards the end of Shakespeare's career where while his brilliance had grown quite impressive, his fame and fortune was also being thrust more and more into the spotlight to the point of being accused of some level of crimes against the government. Similarly, the battles between the different churches of England were in full swing. When you read this play, you sense a bit of disconnect. It's not a comedy or a tragedy in my opinion. It's about reality, i.e. what King Henry VIII had been previously going through with this divorces, six wives, etc. The focus is on Katherine of Aragon and the church's position on Henry's request to re-marry. There are lots of good lines and passages in the play, but it isn't one of his better plays. I'm also not one for propaganda-type literature, instead preferring something to take me away from reality. About Me For those new to me or my reviews... here's the scoop: I read A LOT.
