King Richard - King Richard My report is on Richard I, byname Richard the Lion-Hearted. He was born September 8, 1157 in Oxford, England. He died on April 6, 1199 in Chalus, England. His knightly manner and his prowess in the Third Crusade(1189-92) made him a popular king in his own time, as well as the hero of countless romantic legends. He has been viewed less kindly by more recent historians and scholars. Richard was the third son of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine, and he was given the duchy of Aquitaine, his mother’s inheritance, at the age of 11 and was enthroned as duke at Poitiers in 1172....   [tags: History England King Richard Essays] :: 6 Works Cited	1146 words (3.3 pages)	Better Essays	[preview]
Richard III - Did Richard Kill the Children? - Did Richard III Kill the Children. We really cannot know for certain. If there was a cover-up to protect the actual murderers, it was done exceedingly well and so thoroughly that we will never be able to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt what really happened. In spite of what I see as very persuasive evidence that Richard did not kill the children, there are many very intelligent, highly successful, and unquestionably reputable historical scholars out there who believe that they have evidence that the king did commit the murders and that this evidence is equally as compelling as anything I believe....   [tags: Richard II Richard III Essays]	1104 words (3.2 pages)	FREE Essays	[view]
Richard II Essay: The Characters of Bolingbroke and Richard II - The Characters of Bolingbroke and Richard II "What tongue speaks my right drawn sword may prove" is the sentence which concludes a short speech delivered by Henry Bolingbroke to King Richard II (1.1.6). These words are but the first demonstration of the marked difference between the above-mentioned characters in The Tragedy of Richard II. The line presents a man intent on action, a foil to the title character, a man of words. When Bolingbroke first appears in the play, he is accusing Thomas Mowbray of treason and then states that he is ready to act upon his accusations, to draw his sword against Mowbray....   [tags: Richard II Richard III Essays]	860 words (2.5 pages)	Strong Essays	[preview]
History and Tragedy in Richard II - History and Tragedy in Richard II         An attempt to sort Shakespeare's plays into neat categories may appear to have its benefits when striving to understand his work, but even a superficial reading of Richard II indicates that this approach is largely futile and sometimes misleading. While it cannot be doubted that the play is of a historical nature, based on events recorded in Holinshed's Chronicles of 1577 and named after an actual king, a sense of true Shakespearean tragedy is also present throughout....   [tags: Richard II Richard III Essays] :: 4 Sources Cited	2054 words (5.9 pages)	Term Papers	[preview]
Richard III and Adolf Hitler - Richard III and Adolf Hitler In William Shakespeare's Richard III, we see Shakespeare's interpretation of despot rule and the parallels that stem from this interpretation. The character type of Richard has been examined and marveled for thousands of years. From Plato's examination of despot rule in the Republic, we see the motives of what drives despot rulers. A look at the background of Richard and how his upbringing and personal life contributed to his insecurities will help to understand why someone may become a despot....   [tags: Richard II Richard III Essays]	731 words (2.1 pages)	FREE Essays	[view]
Deformity in Richard III - Richard III and Deformity Some scholars insist that Richard was neither crippled nor humpbacked, and they are passionately dedicated to proving that Shakespeare's portrait of the inhuman monster is based on Tudor propaganda used to bolster Henry VII's weak claim to the throne The only "proof" we have of Richard III's deformity is that which is provided by Sir Thomas More in "The History of King Richard the Third". It is here that modern readers digest the adjectives which forever plague Richard "Little of stature, ill-featured of limbs, crooked-backed, his left shoulder much higher than his right"....   [tags: Richard II Richard III Essays]	438 words (1.3 pages)	FREE Essays	[view]

Seduction in Richard III - Seduction in Richard III Seduction is definitely a dominant theme in Richard III. I noticed another instance of it to go along with the ones discussed in class the other night. Richard's wooing of Lady Anne is more than obvious than the example I've found; but, Act 1 scene 4 definitely contains another instance of seduction.

Morality in Shakespeare's Richard III - In Richard III, Shakespeare invites us on moral holiday. The early part of the play draws its readres to identify with Richard and thereby to participate in a fanatasy of total control of self and domination of others. We begin to be pulled into the fanatasy in the play's opening speech, where richard presents himself as an enterprising, self made villian and offers an elabrote justification for this self he renovation. The average reader is indulged in this fanatsy.

Looking for Answers in Looking for Richard - Looking for Answers in Looking for Richard       Al Pacino's "Looking for Richard" is an unusual film. It is a documentary about the complexities of Shakespeare, the performing of the play Richard III, and the ignorance of the average American regarding Shakespeare. The unusual nature of the film - it's similar to a filmed Cliff-notes version of the text - provokes wildly different reactions from film buffs, critics, and Shakespeare purists. A perusal of five different reviews of the film show such variant descriptors that range from Mary Brennan's comment that the documentary is "decidedly narcissistic" to Edwin Jahiel's comment that the film is an "original, mesmerizing exploration." The rather wide incongruity between the reviews leads to an interesting juxtaposition of its critiques, as we examine the reasons "Looking for Richard" incites such strong responses from its proponents and detractors....   [tags: Looking for Richard Essays] :: 5 Works Cited	1832 words (5.2 pages)	Term Papers	[preview]
Richard - When Bolingbroke accuses Mowbray of murdering the Duke of Gloucester, Richard knows that there is a chance of Mowbray telling about Richard's involvement in the crime. Gaunt also understands Richard's position but he also knows that there is no stopping Richard, because "... correction lieth in those hands / which made the fault that we cannot correct" (I, ii, 4-5). Richard is seen as God's representative on Earth and only Richard can punish himself, so it is a matter only God can resolve."God's is the quarrel - for God's substitute,His deputy anointed in His sight,Hath caus'd his death..."Although Gaunt seems satisfied with this fact in Act I, scene ii, later, from his deathbed he seems more dissatisfied with this and reminds Richard that "......   [tags: essays research papers]	607 words (1.7 pages)	FREE Essays	[view]
Richard Wright's Native Son - Richard Wright's Native Son Richard Wright's novel, Native Son, stirred up a real controversy by shocking the sensibilities of both black and white America. The protagonist, Bigger Thomas, is from the lowest ring of society, and Wright does not blend him with any of the romantic elements common to literary heroes. Bigger is what one expects him to be because of the social conditions in which he lives: he is sullen, frightened, violent, hateful, and resentful.

Shakespeare’s Richard III Essay: Richard's Loss of Self - Richard's Loss of Self in Richard III         The attack of "conscience" that King Richard suffers in Act 5, Scene 5 of Shakespeare's Richard III (133-157) can be seen as the psychological climax of the drama, one that is critical to both Richard's development as a character and the play's ultimate success. Richard's struggle to reconcile the many different roles he attempts to play into one unified self, reflected in the tone and composition of his speech, adds depth and humanity to his character; at the same time, his ultimate failure to maintain his "self-made" identity simplifies the play in a way that allows the author to satisfy his audience by punishing the villain and reaffirming the world views that Richard's character appears to challenge (Luxon)....   [tags: Richard II Richard III Essays] :: 2 Sources Cited	1332 words (3.8 pages)	Powerful Essays	[preview]
Sun Imagery in Shakespeare's Richard III - Sun Imagery in Shakespeare's Richard III      Shakespeare's Richard III is a play pervasive in figurative language, one of the most notable being the symbolic image of the sun and the shadow it casts. In an examination of a short passage from the text, it will be argued that Richard is compared to a shadow in relation to the sun, which has traditionally been held as a symbol of the king. The passage is significant not only because it speaks volumes about the plots of Richard, but also because it is relevant in understanding the overall plot of the play, which in the first few acts is almost indistinguishable from the plot of the scheming Duke of Gloucester....   [tags: Richard II Richard III Essays] :: 1 Works Cited	609 words (1.7 pages)	Better Essays	[preview]

The Evil King in Shakespeare's Richard III - The Evil King in Shakespeare's Richard III Richard is an actor, a fully evil actor, who through his mastery of the stage has come to appreciate his skill. Richard Moulton, in his Shakespeare as a Dramatic Thinker, proclaims Richard's wonder at his own command of the stage: "Richard has become an artist in evil: the natural emotions attending crime-whether of passionate longing, or horror and remorse-have given place to artistic appreciation of masterpieces" (40). And Robert Weimann, comparing Richard Gloucester to a character in Shakespeare's King John states: "Both characters exemplify a strenuous need to perform, 'toiling desperately' to play a role, 'to find out,' and, for better or worse, to take up arms against a thorny world" (130)....   [tags: Richard II Richard III Essays] :: 9 Works Cited :: 2 Works Consulted	1880 words (5.4 pages)	Term Papers	[preview]

Richard II in William Shakespeare - Richard II in William Shakespeare The plays of William Shakespeare are generally easy to categorize, and the heroes of these plays are equally so. However, in the history play Richard II, Shakespeare’s king is more ambiguous than Hamlet or Romeo– there is no clear cut answer to whether Richard II is a tragic hero... or simply a tragedy. Historically, Richard II was crowned at a very young age, forced into the role of monarch, and thrust without hesitation into the murky world of political intrigue, which perhaps lends his character sympathy because he had no choice in his fate....   [tags: Hero Richard II Shakespeare Essays]	705 words (2 pages)	Strong Essays	[preview]
The Complex Character of King Richard II - The Complex Character of King Richard II A general conclusion of most critics is that Richard II is a play about the deposition of a "weak and effeminate" king. That he was a weak king, will be conceded. That he was an inferior person, will not. The insight to Richard's character and motivation is to view him as a person consistently acting his way through life. Richard was a man who held great love for show and ceremony. This idiosyncrasy certainly led him to make decisions as king that were poor, and in effect an inept ruler....   [tags: Richard II Richard III Essays] :: 4 Works Cited	3453 words (9.9 pages)	Research Papers	[preview]
William Shakespeare's Richard III - William Shakespeare's Richard III William Shakespeare’s characterization of Britain’s historical monarch Richard III, formerly Duke of Gloucester, is one of the most controversial in literature. To this day there are arguments upholding Richard III’s villainy and ascertaining his murder of the Princes in the tower, just as there are those who believe that he has been falsely represented by Shakespeare’s play and fight avidly to clear his name of any and all crimes.

Essay on Narcissism and Metadrama in Richard II - Narcissism and Metadrama in Richard II      Over the last thirty years, Shakespeare criticism has demonstrated a growing awareness of the self-reflexive or metadramatic elements in his works. Lionel Abel’s 1963 study, Metatheatre: A New View of Dramatic Form, provided perhaps the first significant analysis of the ways in which Shakespeare thematizes theatricality, in the broadest sense of the term, in his tragedies, comedies, and histories. In his discussion of Hamlet, he makes the observation—perhaps a bit commonplace and obvious to us thirty years later—that the famous “play within a play” is only the most blatant example of self-conscious technique found throughout the tragedy: once we begin to look closely, we notice that nearly “every important character acts at some moment like a playwright, employing a playwright’s consciousness of drama to impose a certain posture or attitude on another” (46)....   [tags: Richard II Richard III Essays] :: 8 Works Cited	2813 words (8 pages)	Term Papers	[preview]

Shakespeare on Machiavelli: The Prince in Richard III - Shakespeare on Machiavelli:  The Prince in Richard III     According to many, Shakespeare intentionally portrays Richard III in ways that would have the world hail him as the ultimate Machiavel.  This build up only serves to further the dramatic irony when Richard falls from his throne.  The nature of Richard's character is key to discovering the commentary Shakespeare is delivering on the nature of tyrants.  By setting up Richard to be seen as the ultimate Machiavel, only to have him utterly destroyed, Shakespeare makes a dramatic commentary on the frailty of tyranny and such men as would aspire to tyrannical rule....   [tags: Richard II Richard III Essays Shakespeare] :: 3 Works Cited	1505 words (4.3 pages)	Term Papers	[preview]

Edwin Arlington Robinson's Richard Cory - Edwin Arlington Robinson's Richard Cory I have always secretly envied my dearest high school friend Erin.  It was easy to be jealous of Erin since she was tall with beautiful blonde hair that turned many heads.  She possessed grace and style and had the coolest car.  Though people try to resist envy, most succumb to it from time to time.  As people focus on all that they lack, they tend to ignore the flaws in those they envy.  The observers in the poem Richard Cory allow envy to cloud their perception of themselves.         Cory appears to have it all.  The poor townspeople look at him and they see the qualities that they themselves lack.  An ugly person may believe that if they were beautiful then happiness would be secure.  A lonely person believes that finding someone to end his loneliness would diminish his sadness.  This is evident in the first three stanzas.  The townspeople notice Cory’s appearance as superior to their own.  “He glittered when he walked” (Robinson 986).  They also noted the main character’s manner and abundance of material possessions.  The observers were too busy working to have time to put effort in improving manners and could not even think of saving money when they were lucky not to starve.  Many people want to be more outwardly beautiful or to have more money.  My aunt and uncle were coming home to Indiana from Iowa for the Thanksgiving holiday six years ago when they met a drunk driver in a head-on collision.  I remember the anguish my family felt for the following few days when we were unsure whether my uncle was going to survive.  He did survive though he was altered for the next few years and suffered permanent damage to his body.  Insurance companies are set up to right wrongs with the use of money.  This large wrong granted my aunt and uncle a large amount of money.  They since moved back to Indiana and live across the street from my parents.  They have new cars and have even bought their children new cars and houses.  Some people may feel jealous at what my aunt and uncle possesses.  They no longer have to work and they will never need to worry about money.  I am not jealous of their money.  Money could not compensate me for going through the pain and suffering inflicted on my family.  The observers’ in Richard Cory were envious of his wealth but they did not consider at what cost they were willing to obtain similar wealth....   [tags: Edwin Arlington Robinson Richard Cory Essays] :: 1 Works Cited	798 words (2.3 pages)	Better Essays	[preview]

King Richard - The problem with Richard is that he is not really a man of action; he confronts and deals with difficulties by internalising and talking about them.Richard is not at all a man of his action. Whenever a problem arises, he internalises and talks to himself or the surrounding people, but does not do anything to resolve the problem. He is not ready to stand up and do something about it, and instead complains about the situation to himself. I think that it is because of this trait that Richard loses the kingship of England, and Bolingbroke, a man who is always ready to take action when a problem arises wins the throne over Richard.In the first scene, where Bolingbroke accuses Mowbray of killing Gloucester, Richard plays a major part in the action and at first look, I think that the reader could think that Richard is in fact a 'man of action' because of his handling of the Mowbray-Bolingbroke situation....   [tags: essays research papers]	957 words (2.7 pages)	FREE Essays	[view]
