Question

What does auther want to express in the following? Explain in your own words

Answer 1

Answer:

Another example of 1) English Patriotism and 2) Henry trying to be "one of the guys,." He's offering them the chance to be elevated to the status of gentleman because of their bravery. Can also be compare this to the way in which the French discuss the battle of Harfleur, which is over-confident and basically talks about how they're going to take advantage of how weak the English army is. Talks about how they'll get to show their scars and remember what happens today, years from now==manhood. Henry implicits elevates the men he's fighting alongside to his own level of nobility-- so is he pushing himself down, or pulling the other soldiers up?
