Lose yourself in the rhythm of Richard III

by Redlass Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Nov 15 '00
Pros: Most amazing villain of all time, breathtaking monologues, unforgettable characters
Cons: Long, historically inaccurate, requires political background knowledge

How can you not love this play?(OK--I'm obsessed.)

by jenn_richard , Mar 22 '00
Pros: Richard III is just EVIL, but just so fun to see in action. Kudos to the Bard.
Cons: A little confusing if you don't know the history behind it. Snag a genealogical table if your edition doesn't come with one. It helps so much.

by emily002 , Mar 23 '00
Pros: few and far between
Cons: boring characters, contrived dull plot

Proved a Villain

by Mercutio , Feb 03 '00
Pros: Good story, good writing
Cons: Historically inaccurate
When first your read Shakespeare's Richard III, you would agree with the common opinion of Richard. That he is a ruthless, murderous villain who will stop at nothing to gain the throne of England. But the more you read it, and the more you examine the...
