    I don't speak French so I got angry when my husband wrote one whole scene entirely in French in one of his history plays. Which play is it?

    Question #27873. Asked by ANNE HATHAWAY. (Feb 09 03 6:58 PM)


    Baloo55th

    Henry V, the scene where Henry is courting the beautiful Princess Katherine of France. His French is not all that good - a bit Franglais in places.

    In Act III, Scene 4 of "Henry V" Alice teaches Katharine the names of various body parts in English.

    Act V, Scene 2 shows Henry proposing to Katharine. The dialog is mainly English with some French and some of Katharine's poor English.
