KING RICHARD: A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!Īs a person more inclined to comedy than tragedy, more to fiction than fact, this is not a personal favorite my favorite of Shakespeare’s plays are Much Ado About Nothing and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and I prefer Iago’s sinister machinations in Othello to Richard III’s. KING RICHARD: March on, join bravely, let us to ‘t pell-mell / If not to heaven, then hand in hand to hell GLOUCHESTER: Now is the winter of our discontent/ Made glorious summer… It is full of murder, double-crossing, woe, and famous quotes that most people would recognize even without having read the play, such as King Richard III is about the rise and fall of the villainous Duke of Glouchester. Diving into King Richard III was a challenge, since it is definitely one of the more challenging of his plays that I’ve read. I like Shakespeare a lot, but it has been a long time since I read him.
