The Reign of King John

After Richard I died in 1199 BC, the only remaining heir to the throne was his brother John. As one of England's worst kings, John's rule is undoubtedly unpopular. I do not like John, so it can not be denied that he is a capable king with a diligent and capable generals. John's failure as a strategist is not to collapse his rule, but his potential personality defects such as his indomitable cruelty, obviousness, and lack of sympathy for his people.

King John is closely related to the anonymous historical drama "Worry of King John" (circa 1589), "wonderful architecture", but inappropriate expression made Shakespeare think that it is an early drama . E. A. J. Honigmann elaborates on these discussions in the second preface of the 1982 book on the influence of Shakespeare on the Arden version of "John King" and his contemporaries.

Anonymous play "John's trouble" is similar to what John Bell's morality play "Jin Jung" tries to take John from the "evil of Roman church" to England, The original Protestant martyr ". It was saved with power. By contrast, Shakespeare's John King, a relatively anti-Catholic drama, is a primitive protestant victim, and as a weaker Roman scam, a more "balanced" dual-view complex ruler Relying on the source material of "awkward rule" to provide. Selfish ruler "Anthony Mondi's plays" Falling "and" Death of Earl Robert "positively explained the position of the king against John Catholic Church, but along with the modern view of Tudor monarch It was.

The drama about Shakespeare's King John did not mention Magna Carta and omitted the theme of equilibrium of power between the king and nobility These themes were mostly in the story dominated by King John Appeared. As King John defended his position for several applicants for the throne, the play reflects the issue of justification. This theme is also an animation of the drama, as well as the dangers of invasion from foreign countries and conflict with the Pope, reflects Elizabeth 's life problem in the audience.
