Shakespeare uses this power of healing contrasting to Macbeth's power of destruction. While King Edward is a good king, King Macbeth is a tyrant.
Also, Shakespeare, according to notes on the book, wanted to flatter King James, the monarch during the playwright's time.
I disagree with you Jp.... lol pause not, although it is a blog, to discuss on other peoples comments I completely agree with Jp on this one, I think that you are completely right and I hope that somebody dares to comment on his comment so that i can comment back on the person who comment on Jps comment.... no serious I completely agree with you ;)
I think that you are correct in that Shakespeare wants to flatter King James, however, i think it goes beyond that. What Skakespeare really wants to do is speak his mind on liberty and corruptless leaders. It could have even been a critic to monarchy in general since both of them are tyrants eventhough one is a better tyrant. Shakespeare is so sutile that he could have been criticizing King James in his face and not even letting him realize it.
