Question

While talking to a keeper in the forest, Henry VI claims that he has one of these objects in his heart, which is called “content” (“kun-TENT”). A character declares, “With mine own tears I wash away my balm,” and waffles, “Ay, no; no, ay,” when asked about one of these objects in a scene missing from the first three quartos. That character compares himself to a “bucket down and full of tears” and one of these objects to “a deep well / That owes two buckets, filling one another” (-5[1])while telling his “cousin” to (*) “seize” it from one side as he holds the other. (-5[1])A rant on the Welsh coast that claims “within [one of these objects]… keeps Death his court” titles a BBC adaptation of Shakespeare’s (10[1])Henriad. One of these objects that Richard II had earlier called “hollow” (10[1])is held by him (10[2])and Bolingbroke (10[1])in the Deposition Scene. For 10 points, Henry (10[1])IV complains, (10[1])“Uneasy lies the head that wears” (10[1])what kind of object? ■END■ (10[1])
