Does King Henry show a softer side?

In Act 4 Scene 1 King Henry disguised himself as a soldier in his army. Many would think this would be a bad idea, but it is not. It is actually very smart because by doing this he can hear what his soldiers actually think of him. While under cover, King Henry meets two soldiers by the name of Bates and Williams. The men began a conversation and Bates asked Disguised King Henry how he felt about the King. He tells them that the King sees himself as any other man that is on the battlefield. He then continues to tell him that the King is glad to be with this people on the battlefield. William then says that the sins that every man commits under the King will not come back to King. But in the bible, it states that every sin that a man commits is for him and no man can take those sins as their own. So, to me, for the men to think that the sins they commit should be accounted for being King Henry’s is just ludacris!

The King Henry that we are used to reading is not the King Henry who is talking to these soldiers, he is trying to encourage his men not only to fight for their families, but for him also. Since King Henry now knows what his people really think of him, I feel that he will know how to better prepare them for battle. In my opinion I feel as if King Henry shows a softer side because he actually wants to know how his people view him. This by itself shows how he is maturing and it will teach him how to be a better king to his people. King Henry knows that his army is not as big as the French, but he also knows that if his men have a reason to fight for life, they will fight until the bitter end.
