What’s Up With the Ending?

Things do not look good for our heroes. The war in France has not been a smashing success, and Henry VI is about to ignore Gloucester's advice and marry a poor woman whose political connections aren't great—and not only that, but he's dumped a rich lady with better connections in order to do this. Oh, and Suffolk, one of the noblemen, is comparing himself to Paris, the dude who kicked off the Trojan War and utter disaster for himself and his people by stealing someone else's wife. Always a promising comparison… not.

We'll say it again: Things do not look good for England. Don't believe us? Head on over to Henry VI, Part 2 and Part 3 to see for yourself.
