How can you use “fluellen” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Fluellen, in the great tradition of the Shakespearean Fool, uses the comparison to make Henry out to be an ass.
Fluellen's remark follows immediately Henry's order to his men to kill their prisoners, which would have scared anybody in Shakespeare' audience who knows anything about war: The side whose captured soldiers have been murdered invariably retaliates by killing the men it has captured, and the men ordered to slit their prisoners' throats understood that.
This is what Fluellen and Gower think provoked King Henry's command to kill England's French prisoners, and both soldiers fully approve of that command.
Fluellen first compares Henry to Alexander the Pig , is corrected by Gower, defends his malapropism, then goes on to say that the reason Alexander and Henry are alike is they both kill their friends!
Obviously, we are meant to laugh at Fluellen's nonsense, but still.
