King Henry VI, Part 3 by William Shakespeare

"King Henry VI, Part 3" by William Shakespeare is a history play believed to have been written in 1591. The play depicts England descending into chaos during the Wars of the Roses, as the Houses of York and Lancaster battle for the throne. Families fracture, moral codes collapse, and revenge fuels brutality. King Henry VI struggles to maintain control while his nobles wage war, shifting allegiances and committing horrific acts. Featuring one of Shakespeare's longest soliloquies and most battle scenes, this play explores the devastating human cost of civil war and political ambition.
