Description
From the Book Back
J. A. Bryant, Jr., writes on Richard’s conception of his royal role: “One of the most important things to watch … is the remarkable development of Richard’s conception of his role as king. Initially Richard does not impress us as the kind of man who is capable of learning much— [his] childish impatience with anyone or anything that interferes with what he considers a God-given right to do as he pleases is the next thing to villainy, and the means by which he manages to do an about-face and mature into the most intellectually respectable king Shakespeare created constitutes the main interest of this play.”
