Instead Richard III is a history tragedy of a sanguinary English king, who obtains the throne with every half, committing atrocious homicides and actions for his “crave power”. Envious of elder brother with deceits eliminates each pretender to the throne included Buckingham his ex-ally. He remained alone, he confronts his enemy, the earl of Richmond, in the battle of Bosworth Field. In the battle, Richard III hand-to-hand fighting with the earl of Richmond, he dies pierced through sword.
I like all three Shakespeare’s works for them suspance but “Richard III” is my favourite tragedies because it’s full of dramatic turns of events and the protagonist attracts spectator’s curiosity.
