i Henry IV
The comic underplot is not merely a burlesque of the main plot (as in Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, say)--it offers a counter narrative, almost a materialist vision against the monarchy and aristocratic rebels, and provides an alternate education for the prince, as against his father's expectations. Falstaff's 'honor' speech ties back to CoE's 'words are but wind,' also an issue in MoV and R&J.

Merchant of Venice
Antonio and Bassanio are lovers, and the latter is a declasse aristocrat scheming to obtain Portia's wealth. That they ruin a member of an oppressed group in the process makes villainy triumphant in this text. We might say that this text stages a society that believes itself to be just and allows that society to prevail by means of an exclusion that we cannot countenance.

Rereading Hamlet because Baldwin mentioned it and I realized I no longer have the damn thing memorized. Fear I may be missing something if I don't do a refresher

King John
The absence of Magna Carta should be considered structural rather than inartful--this episodic text wherein alliances realign each act should be taken to represent a sort of hobbesian wasteland wherein it's better to trust in 'your strong possession much more than your right.' 'Commodity, the bias of the world' might only be diagnosed by a bastard who lacks right but is pure competence.
