{"product_id":"9781546211006","title":"The Complete Second Part of Henry Vi: An Annotated Edition of the Shakespeare Play","description":"“The role of prophecy is . . . central in 2 Henry VI, in that it gives to the play a dominant pattern of prediction and eventual fulfillment” (Bevington). This pattern isn’t satisfied, however, as a result of King Henry’s lackadaisical style. Throughout the play, it is clear that Henry is ineffectual as a ruler. Not only that, those who represent him are also handicapped. In fact, as Bevington states, “The forces of good do not fare well.”   “Henry VI, Part 2 keeps its audience in suspense about the ultimate fate of the king by ending as it does at the beginning of the Wars of the Roses. . . The outcome of these wars will be presented in Henry VI, Part 3” (Mowat, xvii). Resolution will have to wait.","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47158898426096,"sku":"9781546211006","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781546211006_p0.jpg?v=1763750315","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781546211006","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
