As You Like It
Superficially similar to MND, with its forest setting, erotic misrecognitions, and mass marriage, the structural analogue here is really Richard III, focusing on fraternal conflict. Richard famously murders his brother, but this one avoids that result by virtue of reconciliations, achieved perhaps impossibly, but provides a window on how fratricidal tragedy is averted.

Julius Caesar
Against the backdrop of mass slavery, apprehended directly herein only in moments of death scene manumission, the optimate faction proclaims to be defending 'liberty' whereas the populares faction instrumentalize even their own aristocrats and issue proscription bills by fiat. The normal problem of history plays obtains here: the intervention elides much to focus precariously on ethics.

Henry V
Sovereignty as theatre--the corporate personhood of Talbot is here rendered by the prologue as a creature of theatrical imagination, a matter of ideology as disseminated to an audience. Thereafter the ecclesiastics persuade a willing Hal to war so as to avoid a proto-dissolution act in parliament. NB also the concordance of Falstaff with the traitors, plus the liquidation of Falstaff's gang.
