Henry iv


             An ideal father is one who is both caring and understanding.
             mould, one must express these characteristics. The outlook and actions of King.
             Henry IV (Shakespeare, Henry IV Part 1) and Joseph Strorm (Wyndham, The.
             Chrysalids), suggest characters who do not match the mould of the archetypical.
             ideal father. .
             .
             King Henry IV was a father who thought not much of his son. He.
             sees his son as a riotous, irresponsible young man. King Henry tells.
             Westmoreland that he is envious of Lord Northumberland's son, Hotspur, and that.
             he wishes he could be more honorable. It shows King Henry's lack of trust and.
             grasp of his son through conversations with others. The King has a serious.
             discussion with Prince Hal in act three, where he tells him that he is starting.
             to behave in the same way as King Richard, and since he is acting this way, the.
             people will not want him to be the King. The King has his own ideas on how he.
             thinks that the Prince should live, and for that reason has made the.
             relationship between them very difficult. If only the King would have been more.
             accepting, the Prince could have lived more like himself. Joseph Strorm is a.
             father with very strict rules. He cares more about the physical make up of a.
             person than he does about the actual personality of the person. In the story a.
             very cold side of Joseph Strorm is shown; he never gets close to his son at all.
             The only conversation shared between Joseph and his children are harsh and is.
             often punishment. The way Joseph responded when David jokingly wished for a.
             third arm showed that he cared more about his image and purity than he did for.
             his own child. Both King Henry and Joseph Strorm lacked the ability to look eye.
             to eye with their children. King Henry did not like the way his Prince ran his.
             life, and Joseph Strorm did not care at all about anything other than if.
             something was pure. These fathers both wished that their children could have.
             been more like themselves.
