Wearing masks and disguises and Rob Falstaff after he Rob's the pilgrims Prince. Hal thinks it'll be really funny and he agrees once points leaves Prince. Hal delivers a soliloquy. A speech that represents his inner thoughts about how he chooses to hang around with lowlifes so that everyone will think less of him, the prince believes. That when he assumes his rightful place in court and takes up his duties, people will appreciate him that much more. The second scene has several purposes first, it provides comic relief. But then the second scene, introduces important content Prince. Hal is the heir to the throne of England is drinking and association with Yves clash with his duty as a prince. 

His behaviour helps the audience. Understand why? The king prefers Hotspur. The scene also. Introduces Falstaff who is a slob but much easier. Father figure for Prince, how to deal with that. Is his true father, King Henry in many ways, this scene points out, the clash between appearance and reality. Not only is Prince Hal going to wear a disguise and pretend to Rob his friends.

The themes of order honor and father-son relationships and all present, 
Prince has decision to rebel against Falstaff and Robin.
