When looking into Shakespearean insults, to our modern ears it is amusing so I found it interesting and helpful to perform them as though they were the worst insults of today. We did this after first performing todays swear words and I see this as a helpful because although the contrast of the types of phrases is amusing, it also allows us to get a better understanding of the Elizabethan period. This gives us an idea of how to portray them in Henry V or in monolgues, aiding our characterisation.
