Henry IV

What does it take to be a good person? In the play, Hal represents a truly good person. He displays attributes that show he truly cares about other people and how he can help them. By sparing Douglas' life Hal demostarates not only honor but that he is a good person. I that if you can change yourself and impove yourself, you are on your way to becoming a good person.
