Dimensions: 9.0in. x 6.0in. x 0.2in.Richard III is a historical play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in approximately 1592. It depicts the Machiavellian rise to power and subsequent short reign of Richard III of England. 1 The play is grouped among the histories in the First Folio and is most often classified as such. Occasionally, however, as in the quarto edition, it is termed a tragedy. Richard III concludes Shakespeares first tetralogy (also containing Henry VI parts 13). It is the second longest play in the canon after Hamlet, and is the longest of the First Folio, whose version of Hamlet is shorter than its Quarto counterpart. The play is rarely performed unabridged; often, certain peripheral characters are removed entirely. In such instances extra lines are often invented or added from elsewhere in the sequence to establish the nature of characters relationships. A further reason for abridgment is that Shakespeare assumed that his audiences would be familiar with the Henry VI plays, and frequently made indirect references to events in them, such as Richards murder of Henry VI or the defeat of Henrys queen, Margaret. The play begins with Richard standing in a street, describing the accession to the throne of his brother, King Edward IV of England, eldest son of the late Richard, Duke of York. Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this sun of York; And all the clouds that lourd upon our house In the deep bosom of the ocean buried. (sun of York is a punning reference to the badge of the blazing sun, which Edward IV adopted, and son of York, i. e. , the son of the Duke of York. ) Richard is an ugly hunchback who is rudely stampd, deformed, unfinishd, and cannot strut before a wanton ambling nymph. He responds to the anguish of his condition with an outcasts credo: I am determined to prove a villain And hate the idle pleasures of these days. Richard plots to have his brother Clarence, who stands before him in the line of succession, conducted to the Tower of London over a prophecy he bribed a soothsayer to finagle the suspicious King with; that G of Edwards heirs the murderer shall be, which the king interprets as referring to George of Clarence (without realizing it actually refers to Gloucester). Richard now schemes to woo the Lady Anne Anne Neville, widow of the Lancastrian Edward of Westminster, Prince of Wales. He confides to the audience: Ill marry Warwicks youngest daughter. What, though I killd her husband and her father The scene then changes to reveal Lady Anne accompanying the corpse of the late king Henry VI, along with Trestle and Berkeley, on its way to be interred at Pauls cathedral. She asks them to set down the honourable load - if honour may be shrouded in a hearse, and then laments the fate of the house of Lancaster. Richard suddenly appears and demands that the unmannerd dog carrying the hearse set it down, at which point a brief verbal wrangling takes place. Despite initially hating him, Anne is won over by his pleas of love and repentance and agrees to marry him. When she leaves, Richard exults in having won her over despite all he has done to her, and tells the audience that he will discard her once she has served her purpose. The atmosphere at court is poisonous: The established nobles are at odds with the upwardly mobile relatives of Queen Elizabeth, a hostility fueled by Richards machinations. Queen Margaret, Henry VIs widow, returns in defiance of her banishment and warns the squabbling nobles about Richard. Queen Margaret curses Richard and the rest who were present. The nobles, all Yorkists, reflexively unite against this last Lancastrian, and the warning falls on deaf ears. Richard orders two murderers to kill Clarence in the tower. Clarence, meanwhile, relates a dream to his keeper. This item ships from La Vergne,TN.<
