Quote #10
YORK
Is all our travail turned to this effect?
After the slaughter of so many peers,
So many captains, gentlemen and soldiers
That in this quarrel have been overthrown
And sold their bodies for their country's benefit,
Shall we at last conclude effeminate peace? (5.3.103-108)
Guess what? Upon hearing news of a peace treaty, York wants to keep fighting. But would that be better for England? Or is peace a better call, especially since it's not clear the nobles can work together?
Quote #11
SUFFOLK
Thus Suffolk hath prevailed, and thus he goes,
As did the youthful Paris once to Greece,
With hope to find the like event in love,
But prosper better than the Trojan did.
Margaret shall now be queen, and rule the King,
But I will rule both her, the King and realm. (5.4.103-108)
Why is this quote on love in our politics section? Because Suffolk is interested in a lot more than love, and because it says something really interesting about the play: Suffolk is infatuated with Margaret, but he's also hoping to use her to influence the king so that he can gain more political power.
