Let's see how many people can guess- which one of these shakespearian kings uses the Royal We the least?
(It's use per line, so the size of the part doesn't matter)
(Edit:I've started counting from the moment of their coronation, so how big their part is before then also does not matter)
A while ago I counted the uses in the Henriad, and made a post about the results (including graphs!)
https://www.reddit.com/r/shakespeare/s/4FEDRYsfZo (it does have some spoilers for the answer, so don't look 😉)
I've counted the uses in more plays since, but I don't really have the time to do an analysis, so you get this for now:)

For your consideration: ginger Lancasters
Finally done with drawing all of them- no period consistency in the costuming dw about it.
It's completely ahistorical, but I like the idea of having Henrys as the ginger Plantagenets:)

Change my mind 😎
Obviously, I think it’s true, but I'd love to hear good things about your favorite tragedies😅
Personally, I felt like R2 really strikes the balance, where everything could have turned out so differently, while the actions of each character still feel inevitable when you consider who they are.
The family dynamics are fantastic, all the characterizations are clear, the language is beautiful, and the speeches, of course, are iconic.
Above all, it's just so deeply sad. I haven't read or watched every tragedy, but I cried reading this one, like I hadn't cried while reading a book since I was 13.
I will grant you it's pretty slow, and it didn't leave much of an impression on me the first time, but it really rewards a re-read & a re-watch.
