Specifications
King John has divided scholars and critics over the centuries, mainly due to the ambiguous, anti-heroic character of its central hero, and the seemingly "disjointed barrage of unrelated events" in the last two acts of the play.
However, it was Shakespeare's work that was most often copied, and excerpts of it were found on the lips of politicians and public figures in every period of political crisis.
Today, what clearly emerges from the material of the work is the eternal mechanism of power, whether royal or religious - the driving force of which is revealed, cynically and unabashedly, as self-interest - the study of human behavior under pressure, as well as a nearly determinative contribution of Fortune in shaping History.
