Henry V is all about duty. Its main focus is on the responsibilities of a leader in wartime, and what makes a good leader under such circumstances. We see Henry reflecting on his duty as a king, both in conversation with his troops before the battle and in his soliloquy afterward.

Patriotism does appear in Henry's speech "Once more into the breach", in the phrase "God for Harry, England and St. George." However, Henry's motives in going to war with France are not patriotic, and mostly he is manipulated into it by a clergy trying to avoid paying taxes.
