Goodnight, prince hal

Individual human identity is a complex that manifests itself in the wearing of masks, radically at odds with each other. No one sees in the mirror what others see, a painful epiphany for those who encounter it. John Zapoti saw himself as a hard-working lawyer and politician, an upright citizen making a living and a difference. Martha, his wife, however, saw a workaholic. His cousin-lover Angie loved a satyr. While Virginia experienced a tyrant, and Peter perceived a miser, Brian Percy was both alienated by and attracted to John Zapoti. Boyhood friend Gerry was hurt by his fickle Prince Hal. Rival Henry Percy detested the money-grubbing enemy he saw in him. Zapotias townsmen thought they saw a wannabe murderer. Even his death was not what it seemed to those he left behind. In the end, only Angie Schiavone came close to understanding there is no official version of anyone.
