When it is his turn to play the part of his father, he takes the opportunity to verbally criticize Falstaff. His enthusiasm allows him to express his opinion for the first time without fear of losing face in front of ordinary people. His role performance allows him to indicate an underlying animosity that reaches its climax in a later historical play. Hal is strategic if nothing else, as if he's written out the timeline of his life and is simply reading a script. Hal has had his story written well in advance and just goes through the motions, rarely if ever seeming to go "off script". Strategy and calculation are valuable tools for a great politician, provided they know how to hide these qualities long enough to gain public approval. Through expert use of language, Hal is able to switch between high and low speech, a skill that most other nobles cannot master. Hal is at once a strategic mind, a writer of his own story, and a great actor. All these skills have the potential to make him a great ruler or politician. If Hal had lived in a democratic society rather than a monarchy I have no doubt he would have been elected president. Essentially the TV show would be a mix between House of Cards and Henry IV Part One, a sneaky adaptation centered around a cunning and captivating protagonist. Politicians constantly use language to “write”.
