    Interesting how the Tudor propaganda turned Richard into such a villain...

    I like it when Shakespeare puts ghosts in a story. This is he. He is a geniues. Richard III or a man who let others be killed to get the crown. Typical Shakespeare. The fail and loose, murderer, blood, revenge, success, dead. It's all inside. I always wonder: how could he (Mr William) wrote such stories - so full of history stuff - without asking Google. Aww, sorry never mind. Was it really so in detail? Did it really happend like he said so? No everything, of cause. There aren't real ghosts but the inner devils. good work. worth to read.
