King Richard III by William Shakespeare
"King Richard III" by William Shakespeare is a play written around 1592–1594 that depicts Richard of Gloucester's ruthless climb to power and brief reign as king. Through manipulation, murder, and deceit, the deformed and bitter Richard eliminates anyone standing between him and the English throne—including family members, rivals, and even innocent children. As his paranoia grows and enemies gather, the ghosts of his victims haunt him toward a final confrontation at Bosworth
Field. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
