Henry IV and big question

big question: Why is power attractive?
The play expresses that power is not initially appealing to Hal but later in the play he accepts his power in order to fulfill societal standards and expectations. Other characters in the play such as Hotspur crave for power personally but display alterior motivations of reinstating the rightful king to the throne (Mortimur). This is the rebels' cause but Hotspur especially craves power. He has spent his life dedicated to the ideals of honor and wants the ultimate reward of power.
