"King Richard III" by William Shakespeare is a historical drama that shows the cunning scheme of Richard, the Duke of Gloucester, as he strives to take the throne. Richard kicks off the story by declaring his hate for the peaceful times after the fighting between royal families, the Wars of the Roses, because he feels left out because of his body. He decides to become evil so he can get what he wants, starting plots against his brother Clarence and King Edward IV. Richard's deceit goes hand-in-hand with how he deals with others, like Lady Anne, whose husband he killed, which kicks off a story full of big goals, payback, and the power struggles inside a messed-up royal family.
