When we performed “The Robbery” scene from Henry IV, I got the idea that these guys know each other very well. For example, Falstaff calls Prince Hal “Hal”, so you can tell that he has known him for a while, and also they make jokes and insults among themselves, showing that they are good friends, but also like to annoy each other. I also think that they have robbed before, because they are very quick to say that they will rob the travelers, and Bardolph and Gadshill have obviously been scouting out the area, maybe for more victims to rob, because they are the ones that bring all the information about the travelers. I also believe that they are comrades, because they make a plan very quickly of how to rob the travelers, showing that they have experience with each other on how to rob people. No one in our group figured out what Poins meant when he said, “O tis our setter. I know his voice.” I think that, since setter in this case means one who makes arrangements for a robbery, that Poins meant that Bardolph had been scouting for someone to rob, and Poins recognized his voice when he walked in. I think that Ned Poins fits into this mix because he is obviously friendly wiht Hal, and may have been picked by Falstaff to be an accomplice. In this part, Falstaff is clearly angry with Poins for hiding his horse, and states that Poins is only his accomplice because Poins has given him “medicines” or drugs , to make Falstaff like him. I think that Falstaff gives up so easily when Poins and Hal rob him because he was surprised. I think also Falstaff didn’t know it was Poins and Hal, so maybe he thought it was a group of officers coming to arrest him for stealing. Falstaff may have also not had time to get a suitable weapon out to counterattack, so he thought it was best to just run and live another day.
