''Henry IV, Part 2'' is a history play by William Shakespeare, believed written between 1596 and 1599. It is the third part of a tetralogy, preceded by ''Richard II'' and ''Henry IV, Part 1'' and succeeded by ''Henry V''. The play is often seen as an extension of aspects of ''Henry IV, Part 1'', rather than a straightforward continuation of the historical narrative, placing more emphasis on the highly popular character of Falstaff and introducing other comic figures as part of his entourage, including Ancient Pistol, Doll Tearsheet and Justice Robert Shallow. Several scenes specifically parallel episodes in Part 1. ==Characters== ''Of the King's party'' * King Henry IV * Prince Hal – later King Henry V * Prince John of Lancaster – Henry's son * Duke of Gloucester – Henry's son * Duke of Clarence – Henry's son * Earl of Warwick * Earl of Surrey * Earl of Westmorland * Harcourt * Sir John Blunt ''Rebels'' * Archbishop of York * Lord Bardolf * Lord Mowbray – Earl Marshal * Lord Henry Hastings * Sir John Coleville * Earl of Northumberland * Lady Northumberland – Northumberland's wife * Lady Percy – widow of Henry 'Hotspur' Percy, Northumberland's son * Travers – Northumberland's servant * Morton – messenger ''Court'' * Lord Chief Justice * Servant * Gower – messenger * Beadle * Two Grooms ''Eastcheap'' * Sir John Falstaff * Falstaff's Page * Bardolph * Ancient Pistol * Ned Poins * Peto * Mistress Quickly – hostess of the tavern * Doll Tearsheet – prostitute * Francis – drawer at tavern * William – drawer at tavern ''Recruits'' * Ralph Mouldy * Simon Shadow * Thomas Wart * Francis Feeble * Peter Bullcalf ''Other'' * Rumour * Epilogue * Robert Shallow – country justice * Silence – country justice * Davy – Shallow's servant * Snare – sergeant * Fang – sergeant * Messengers, musicians, soldiers, attendants, etc. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henry IV, Part 2」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
