	Broadway: The American Musical . Stars Over Broadway . Harold Prince \| PBS
		"Hal" Prince served his theatrical apprenticeship in the late '40s and early '50s with the esteemed author, director, and producer George Abbott.
		For his innovative concepts, the ability to find the exact visual framework for the musical-narrative content, and his role, notably with Stephen Sondheim, in the drastic reshaping of the modern theater musical, Prince has received more Tony Awards than anyone else, including one for his superb staging of the Broadway revival of "Show Boat" (1995).
		This was followed by a disappointingly brief run for Prince's revival of the 1974 version of "Candide" (1997) and "Parade" (1998).

	Henry IV, Part 1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prince Hal connects the two plots; he is the son of Henry IV and the friend and comrade of Sir John Falstaff.
		At the outset, Prince Hal seems to pale in comparison with the fiery Henry "Hotspur" Percy, the young noble lord of the North (whom Shakespeare portrays about 23 years younger than he was in history in order to provide a foil for Hal).
		For many readers, Prince Hal grows up, evolving into King Henry V, perhaps the most heroic of all of Shakespeare's characters, in what is a tale of the prodigal son writ large against the backdrop of medieval England.

	Classics Network -- Essay -- "King Henry & Prince Hal: Machiavellian Monarchs"
		Hal is an unemotionally manipulative Machiavellian character right from the start, a man who is, in effect, using his friends as means to a political end, without much regard for their feelings, following closely in his father’s footsteps.
		Hal is truly a selfish and cruel political operator, fond of painful practical jokes (for example, his treatment of Francis), whose every move is part of a calculated game plan.
		Hal is totally aware that his illustrious return to the realm of royalty will seem that much more extraordinary because he has been mired in the badlands of England.

	Prince Hal as "Mankind"
		Structurally, Prince Hal is at the centre of the play, pulled in at least three different directions: towards Falstaff and the pleasures of the the tavern; towards Hotspur and an ambitious pursuit of honour; and towards his father and a Machiavellian use of power*.
		Though Shakespeare does not explore it in detail in the play, there was a reasonable doubt as to Hal's legitimacy as heir: Hotspur is not necessarily wrong when he chooses to espouse the claim of Mortimer.
		See, for example, the advice that Henry IV gives Hal in the scene of their confrontation, 3.2.39ff., and the use Henry makes of others in his clothes at the battle of Shrewsbury (5.3.25-28).

	King Henry the Fourth Act II. Commentary at Absolute Shakespeare
		The Prince and Poins head to their waiting horses, the Prince explaining that each thief has headed his separate way for fear of further attack, the Prince remarking of the terrified Falstaff that "Were't [were it] not for laughing I should pity him" (Line 121).
		Prince Henry now tells Falstaff that he is lying (Line 253), Prince Henry telling Falstaff that he and Poins were the real thieves and asking Falstaff how he could possibly redeem himself from the shame of running away from two men when Falstaff's group numbered four and from his terrible lying (Lines 283-296).
		Hal or Henry appears quite unaffected by all this, so much so that Falstaff asks Hal "art [are] thou [you] not horribly afeard [afraid]?" since as heir apparent (successor to the throne), Henry can count on Douglas, Percy (Hotspur) and Glendower as his enemies (Line 407).

	[No title]
		For Prince Hal of the text (and perhaps the real Prince Hal), these adolescent defensive efforts include excessive drinking to reduce tension, immature, irresponsible behavior to deny his wish to replace his father, and the selection of inappropriate friends like prostitutes and cutthroats to distance himself from his attachment to his family.
		Hal thoroughly condemns Falstaff's oral indulgence: "that swoll'n parcel of dropsies, that huge bombard of sack, that stuffed cloak-bag of guts, that roasted Manningtree ox with the pudding in his belly." But we know that Falstaff's pleasures are quite polymorphous, extending well beyond the oral, into the sexual, for example.
		Hal's adolescent attachment to Falstaff, then, is both a reflection of his father's destructiveness and greed and a clear _expression of his own.

	FALSTAFF, Quick Term Papers, Term papers, 051011
		A careful reading of Acts 1 through 3 clearly reveals that Hal does not hang out in the tavern because of any character flaw on his own part, or obsession with alcohol to the point of needing to be drunk; or from any corrupt desire to pursue low-level ambitions of the flesh.
		The falsification of the audience's expectations and Hal's miraculous emergence as a great English king, alongside the Hal-Falstaff relationship out of which the future king's identity is gradually constructed, are the main critical puzzles in most studies of the William Shakespeare's "King Henry" series.
		The paper argues that Machiavelli's Prince is not sufficiently cruel or sophisticated to be ranked with Prince Hal, despite the fact that Falstaff's cry for help, voiced in his paradoxical accusation that the Prince has corrupted him, seldom succeeds in inverting the audience's impression that Falstaff is Hal's misleader.
