Psychoanalytic Quarterly, Vol. XVII, No. 4, 1948.
Psycho-analytic principles are applied to the puzzling inconsistencies in Shakespeare's dramatization of Henry V. Prince Hal is shown in his struggle with one side of the Oedipal conflict. His repressed regicidal impulse led to conflicting behaviour. He changed from licentiousness to exalted morality. Falstaff as a substituted father is finally killed by Prince Hal.
