Henry IV and the big Q

Shakespeare seems to be a fairly optimistic poet,and in Henry IV Prince Hal is given the charge of changing the world. As well as changing his world in order to become king, Hal changes the tone of the war and assumes the role of a great and successful king. His choices influenced the world, and in return, influenced his world.

Ghosts and that BIG q

Can one man change the world?
Ghosts author Henrick Ibsen seems to believe so. In the novel, the dead father drastically changes the lives of his wife and son. He changed dreams as well as realities, and perhaps forever altered the course of life for his kin.
