INTRODUCTION
Several areas of knowledge are determined every year in Uzbekistan, the development of which is given priority attention. This year physics and foreign languages ​​have become such areas.
Uzbekistan’s policy of openness, active entry into the global market, expansion of international cooperation in all areas increase the need for studying foreign languages.
Teaching in foreign languages ​​is conducted in 25 higher education institutions in Uzbekistan. In 2016, there were only 7 such institutions. Over the past 3 years, the number of applicants who have received a language certificate of international level has increased tenfold.
This year 350 students received grants to study at prestigious foreign universities through the El-Yurt Umidi Foundation, which is five times more than in previous years.
While making communication with forein people, learners have to understand their not only language, but also target culture and other features such as stereotypes which also play a key role in the development of learning foreign languages which is important in Uzbekistan.
Uzbekistan is in need of highly qualified specialists in the field of foreign languages. This is approved in accordance with the Resolution of the President Shavkat Mirziyoyev: “On measures to bring the activities of popularization of foreign languages in the Republic of Uzbekistan to a qualitatively new level” [1,1]
William Shakespeare's Henry IV is part of a series of four plays often known as the Henriad. The Henriad consists of Richard II, Henry IV Part I, Henry IV Part II, and Henry V.
In Richard II, Henry Bolingbroke deposed his cousin Richard II, who was an ineffectual king. Richard is then murdered, a crime for which Henry blames himself. The next three plays follow the journey of Henry IV's son, the future Henry V.
Based on the real historical figure of Henry Bolingbroke, who ruled England from 1399 to 1413, the plays explore questions about royal legacy, including the divine right of kings (the commonly-held belief that kings were appointed by God, and to flout their wills was betraying the divine). The plays were politically relevant at their publication, as England's Queen Elizabeth I was aging without an heir apparent.
In Henry IV, Shakespeare uses two plays (parts) to tell the story, with the bulk of the action condensed into Part I. A summary of Shakespeare's Henry IV Part I and Part II is below. Henry IV Part I begins with Henry IV lamenting his son, the crown prince, who prefers to spend his days drinking and making mischief in brothels and with petty thievery. Henry IV even wishes that a young nobleman named Henry Percy (known as Hotspur) were his son instead of Prince Hal, saying: "O, that it could be proved/That some night-tripping fairy had exchanged/In cradle-clothes our children where they lay" [2.1.85-87]. Yet after Henry IV scolds Hotspur for not handing over prisoners as instructed, Hotspur decides to instigate a rebellion.
Meanwhile, Prince Hal is busy hanging out in taverns. He even takes part in a robbery for the fun of hearing his friend, the older Falstaff, lie about what happened. Yet, Hal expresses that he knows his time of youthful carousing is coming to an end. He attempts to rejoin his father's counsel, but Henry IV expresses distrust and disgust with his son. Hal goes into battle with his father, during which he fights Hotspur. Hotspur is killed; however, Falstaff takes credit for Hotspur's demise.
When Henry IV Part II begins, Hotspur's rebellion has been quashed. However, Prince Hal does not find it as easy to regain his father's favor as he thought it would be. Even as Henry IV sickens, he distrusts his son's love for him and fears that Hal's wayward ways will bring about the country's downfall.
On Henry IV's deathbed, Hal finally approaches his father. Mistakenly believing his father is dead and there will be no reconciliation, Hal takes the crown and cries, only for Henry IV to awaken. Henry IV confronts his son, lambasting him for taking the crown and believing Hal only cares about the illusion of power. Hal professes his love for his father, and father and son finally reconcile before Henry IV dies in Hal's arms.
The play ends with Prince Hal crowned Henry V. When his old friends, including his mentor Falstaff, try to see him, he rejects them.
