For the Tudors, the reign of medieval King John was a political mirror to show that "rebellion is both the first and greatest, and the very roote of all other sinnes." Tudor rulers transformed John into an heroic king who struggled against the Pope for the sake of England and used the reign of King John to legitimate obedience to the king in the name of loyalty to the state. As the reign of John was firmly identified with a set of political doctrines of Tudor ideology, King John is Shakespeare's exploration of Tudor statism embedded in the Tudor interpretation of the reign of John. While Tillyard's thesis that Shakespeare's history plays are dramas of political orthodoxy has no longer advocates today, King John is still interpreted by many critics to be the royalist, patriotic, and submissive play, due to the fact that the Bastard, with whom the audience is most likely to identify with, advocates the obedience to the king and the national unity. In this paper, I argue that the Bastard is undoubtedly the most attractive character whom Shakespeare created with great sympathy, but not the mouthpiece of the author. Rather, the Bastard's decision to remain loyal to King John and England is juxtaposed with other characters' and the meaning of the play is generated through conflicts and interactions of them.
In King John, John is not a heroic king but a tyrant who usurps the legitimate right of Arthur by force. Transforming the conflict of Arthur and John over the legitimacy of the kingship into the central point of the plot, Shakespeare raises the issue of legitimacy and dramatizes John's world as the place where all legitimacy has gone and authority is totally untrustworthy. John and Philip's league before Angiers clearly demonstrates that kings are but "the bare-picked bone of majesty" and "Commodity" is the real king of this world. Arthur's cruel death is a symbolic act which testifies to the moral corruption of John and his world.
From Arthur's death forward, King John explores the questions of how one lives in a world without a rightful king and value through the person of the Bastard. Though the Bastard realizes that Arthur's death is the natural consequence of John's world, he chooses to remain loyal to the king and England, and assumes the king's role of "ordering of this present time" instead of ailing John. The Bastard's appeal to national unity and order is very persuasive in this time of national crisis and is dramatized with great sympathy, not because the allegiance to monarchs and the state are the absolutes but because, in a world dangerously stripped of absolutes, men must hold to what ties remains to them and national order is the basic one. But the Bastard is not the savior of England and it is "Commodity," not the Bastard, who restores order and peace, though precarious and ostensible, to England. The Bastard fails because he cannot find a new legitimacy to take the place of the shattered one and at the end, the real task "to set a form upon that which he(John) hath left so shapeless and so rude" remains still to be done. The Bastard's failure is the failure of the idea of kingship as England's savior and King John is not an uncomplicated reflection of loyalty and patriotism but a critical exploration of those twin maxims of the Tudor statism.
