Henry IV, Part Two

Henry IV pt. 2 picks up where the last play left off, and while great, it never quite measures up to the first installment. The (presumably) resolved dilemma of the first play returns, but there is less enthusiasm since the first play has already given us what we're looking for. Nevertheless, there are some great lines from Falstaff, and the scene where Hal shuns his old friend is touching. I don't want to deter the curious, but if you've read the first Henry IV, this play is supplemental rather than essential.
