"King Richard III" by William Shakespeare is a gripping play about Richard, the Duke of Gloucester, and his sinister scheme to become the King of England. Richard is portrayed as a deceitful and cruel character, unbothered by morality as he uses lies, manipulation, and even murder to knock off his relatives and political enemies. From the start, Richard makes it clear that he is unhappy and wants to stir up trouble, which leads to plotting against his own brother, Clarence, while weaving his way through the complicated politics of the royal court by taking down anyone he sees as a threat. Richard’s clever words and sneaky actions pull the audience into a world filled with dangerous power moves and personal revenge.
