Richard III dominates the play. The first three acts reveal a character who is self-centred‚ irreligious‚ ruthless‚ vindictive‚ cruel‚ hypocritical‚ blasphemous and lacking any moral scruples in his eager search for power.

William Shakespeare’s “King Richard III”‚ an Elizabethan play written as a piece of Tudor propaganda‚ and Al Pacino’s 1996 docudrama “Looking For Richard” set in contemporary New York‚ have distinctive parallels in what values they concern themselves with despite their markedly different contexts. Our understanding of both texts is advanced through exploring the composers’ contrasting values of free will clashing with Providentialism and the importance of integrity and honesty in the Murder of Clarence

How does Shakespeare Present Beatrice and Benedick’s relationship as the ’reality’ of love and Claudio and Hero’s as merely the ’appearance’ of it? The idea of love at first sight was popular in Shakespeare’s day. Romeo and Juliet‚ for instance‚ fall in love at first sight.
