About the book

The authoritative edition of Richard III from The Folger Shakespeare Library, the trusted and widely used Shakespeare series for students and general readers.In Richard III, Shakespeare invites us on a moral holiday. The play draws us to identify with Richard and his fantasy of total control of self and domination of others. Not yet king at the start of the play, Richard presents himself as an enterprising villain as he successfully plans to dispose of his brother Clarence. Richard achieves similar success in conquering the woman he chooses to marry. He carves a way to the throne through assassination and executions.

    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.
