In William Shakespeare’s Henry V, the character of King Henry delivers some powerful verbiage, known as St. Crispin’s Day Speech, to his troops in order to rally the men for battle. In this speech, King Henry chooses to invoke themes such as glory, religion, and comradery to make the battle they are about to fight immortal in the soldiers’ minds and to motivate them to fight together. These themes draw similar emotions in all men, no matter their background; all men have the need for honour, the urge to please the deity they believe in, and the need to trust in their fellow men.

Familial bonds can influence the development of a kid's decision making skills. When parents are not there for their kids all the time nor do they have the best relationship with them, this can influence their child’s decision making skills. An example of this is shown in Shakespeare’s play, Henry IV Part 1 where Hal, a teenager, struggles with his relationship with his father (who is the king) at the beginning of the play. However, throughout the play his relationship with his father gets better and he starts to make better decisions. Without a strong familial bond, the lack of connection leads to poor decision making.

Shakespeare’s play, Henry V, portrays the newly crowned king of England, King Henry V, as a committed, fearless, and relentless leader.
