Talbot is one of Shakespeare's heroic brutes in arms, esteeming only others of like ilk, a fearless and loyal slaughterer not much different in personality and moral outlook, I imagine, from a pirate chieftain or a leading mafia soldier, though perhaps more learned in the ideology of heroism and chivalry.
Reading 1 Henry VI.
Reportedly, Karl Marx and his family read together evenings and annually went through all of Shakespeare's plays.
No exceptions.
Why?
