Relationship

A detailed Summary of Relationship


In the 1966 play, Lion in Winter, written by James Goldman, King Henry

and Queen Eleanor have a fascinating relationship. Their relationship consists of

dispute over which one of their three sons should be the next King. They despise

one another because of the evil deeds they have done to one another. Yet,

somehow they still love one another.

The quarrel over which son should be the next King is throughout the

entire play. Henry wants the youngest son, sixteen year old John, to become the

next King because he loves him more than his other sons. Eleanor wants

Richard to be the next King because she does not want Henry to have his way.

She even says, after Henry asked if she really cared who was King, "I care

because you care so much." She cannot choose John because Henry has picked

him, and she cannot choose the middle son, Geoffrey, because there is nothing

important or interesting about him. Eleanor has to choose Richard becaus


Rosamund's been dead for seven years?" Eleanor also despises Henry because

sons constantly harass them to choose one of them to be the future King. This
