Krisette Spangler's Reviews > Richard III

Richard is the youngest of three brothers and is determined to have the throne at any price. He has quite a few people to dispatch of before he can reach his goal. Richard never seems to let his conscience get in the way, however, and his rise to the throne is done with very little trouble.

I really enjoyed this play, even though tragedies aren't usually my favorite. Richard is such an evil and devious character, and Shakespeare has him deliver some marvelous speeches. My daughter's professor says the play isn't historically accurate, so I'll be interested to learn more about that as she does.
