Hotspur and Honor in Henry IV part 1

Hotspur: Honor and Pride
In Henry IV, Part One, Shakespeare paints Hotspur (Henry Percy) as a man bound by honor and pride. His sense of honor manifests itself both in a speech and in his beliefs about loyalty and duty, while his pride erupts out of the choleric nature his name suggests.

When Worcester and Northumberland try to convince Hotspur to calm down and consider the dangers of his plot against the King, he gives a speech about honor beginning with the lines: "By heaven, methinks it were an easy leap/To pluck bright honor from the moon" (I, iii, 199-200), meaning that one cannot achieve honor easily, but rather one must take risks-- great leaps.
