Trouble keeping characters straight!

[Shea]

Can anyone suggest something to help me keep the characters straight for Henry 4 part 1? I'm just starting to read it, and I wanted to read a synopsis first to help me follow the plot. When I tried to read the synopsis this site provided, I got totally confused! Too many Harrys, Henrys, and Percies, and too many people with more than one name!

Does anyone know of some kind of outline or guide for this?:confused:

Elementary, but quite useful for the basics.!

Hey Sindu, I really appreciate that site! I think it's not just the characters but also that it's a political war play and is very dull to me, despite Falstaff. I have a hard enough time following political war movies of today, let alone Shakespeare!
