Sorry, it's taken me so long to post. My mom dragged me to my least favorite place to be on Earth, the beach. We had no internet access, but my suffering has not left me completely without profit. But I'll get to Uta Hagen in a moment.
We, my friends have reached a milestone. We have gotten a week's worth of work done, but this means that we only have two weeks left together. It is a bitter-sweet thing, but it must happen for us to grow.
Now, for Uta Hagen.
Who am I?
I was Henry Bolingbroke and am now the King of England. I was a conspirator in the overthrowing of Richard II and am now being conspired against. I am a father. I am a Catholic.
What time is it?
War has just pausd briefly, but people are constantly fighting. Rebellion is fast-approaching. A time to negotiate and find out who is on what side and where everyone stands.
Where am I?
My palace in London, England. My courtroom. Amond my court and council. Amongst rumors.
What surrounds me?
My court. My kingdom. Rumors of rebellion. Rumors about my son.
What are the given circumstances?
My son is an embarrassment of a prince. My title is being threatened. Since my son is goofing off, I have no suitable heir to the throne if something were to happen to me. I'm stressed and honestly much rather have Hotspur as my son.
What is my relationship?
I hold myself above others because I am the king, but I try t be understanding. (Later, I see that that gets me nowhere with my enemies.) I am disappointed in my son's decisions, and the knowledge that he will one day be the king terrifies me. This fear is no just for my sake, though. If I were to die, he would become king, but he is at no point to reinforce that title. Someone would kill him and take over the kindgom. Perhaps even someone of my own court. He's my son, and I don't want that to happen to him. I am at a precarious bablance in my court. I know rebellion is just around the cornerm but I don't know who is going to choose what side when all is said and done.
What do I want?
I want my son prepared for the future. I want there to be peace in the land. I want the hostages back from Percy. (Except for Mortimer...)
What's in the way?
Harry is a drunk, people are after my throne, and Hotspur is an arrogant person for will only give me Mortimer.
How am I going to get it?
I will have a talk with Harry and try to neotiate with Hotspur and the others who seem ready to rebel.
How will I know when I've got it?
Harry will change his ways, the hostages will return home (except for Mortimer), and the fighting will cease.
Ok, so Uta Hagen questions, to me, have always seemed a little redundant, but they are very useful. Anyways, that's all I got. Great first week. Can't wait til tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll remember all the lines I've memorized over this weekend...
