Conundrum: Tetralogies
Tuesday, May 19th, 2009Shakespeare wrote two tetralogies of history plays. The First Tetralogy consists of the three Henry VI plays and Richard III. The Second Tetralogy is set before these (like the second Star Wars trilogy is set before the first one) and consists of Richard II, Henry IV Part One, Henry IV Part Two, and Henry V. Today’s Conundrum questions are about these tetralogies.
1. Name a character who appears in three plays in one of the tetralogies, and another Shakespeare play outside of the tetralogies.
2. Name a character who appears in all four plays in a single tetralogy.
3. Name a character who appears in both tetralogies.
4. Name a character who appears in Richard II and Henry V, but neither Henry IV play.
UPDATE: All four questions answered correctly by Micah. See comments for answers.
