Each disguised lover makes love-vows to the wrong woman.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 442 ~ ~ ~
"Nowhere are wheedling whores more cunning at bilking people."
~ ~ ~ Sentence 824 ~ ~ ~
By his side, with an irony that is seldom praised, Shakespeare places the figure of the Bastard, the man who ought to have been king, the man fitted by nature to rule the English, the man without intellect but with a rough capacity, the man whom we meet again, as a successful king, in the play of _Henry V_.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 836 ~ ~ ~
Another of the results of human treachery appears in the person of the Bastard, whose mother confesses that she was seduced by the "long and vehement suit" of Coeur de Lion.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 837 ~ ~ ~
The Bastard's half-brother, another domestic traitor, does not scruple to accuse his mother of adultery in the hope that, by doing so, he may obtain the Bastard's heritage.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 854 ~ ~ ~
The play ends with the Bastard's well-known brag about England-- "Naught shall make us rue If England to itself do rest but true."
~ ~ ~ Sentence 864 ~ ~ ~
A reader feels that in the figure of the Bastard he set down what he found most significant in the common English character.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 865 ~ ~ ~
With the exceptions of Sir Toby Belch and Justice Shallow, the Bastard is the most English figure in the plays.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 868 ~ ~ ~
An entirely honest, robust, hearty person, contemptuous of the weak, glad to be a king's bastard, making friends with women (his own mother one of them) with a trusty, good-humoured frankness, fond of fighting, extremely able when told what to do, fond of plain measures--the plainer the better, an honest servant, easily impressed by intellect when found in high place on his own side, but utterly incapable of perceiving intellect in a foreigner, fond of those sorts of humour which generally lead to blows, extremely just, very kind when not fighting, fond of the words "fair play," and nobly and exquisitely moved to deep, true poetical feeling by a cruel act done to something helpless and little.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 870 ~ ~ ~
The Bastard is trying to find out whether Hubert killed Arthur, whose little body lies close beside them.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 873 ~ ~ ~
The Bastard tests the protest with one sentence: "Go bear him in thine arms."
~ ~ ~ Sentence 876 ~ ~ ~
Instantly the Bastard is touched to a tenderness that lifts Hubert to a spiritual comradeship with him-- "How easy dost thou take all England up."
~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,305 ~ ~ ~

~ ~ ~ Sentence 1,440 ~ ~ ~

~ ~ ~ Sentence 2,070 ~ ~ ~
Gloucester, trying to comfort him against the wishes of Goneril and Regan, is betrayed by his bastard Edmund, and blinded.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 2,099 ~ ~ ~
It is unnatural that Gloucester should make much of a bastard son whom he has hardly seen for nine years.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 2,236 ~ ~ ~
All that he has done is to damn his soul through the centuries during which the line of Banquo will reign.
~ ~ ~ Sentence 2,785 ~ ~ ~
