Richard III belongs to Shakespeare's folio of King Richard plays, and is the longest of his plays after Hamlet. It is classified variously as a tragedy and a history, showing the reign of Richard III in an unflattering light. The play's length springs in part from its reference to the other Richard plays, with which Shakespeare assumed his audience would be familiar. These references and characters are often edited out to create an abridged version when the play is performed for modern audiences.
bookwoman247: This is a mystery involving Richard III and the two princes in the tower, and seems to have garnered a bit of respect. It's a great read on its own, and would make a great companion read to Shakespeare's Richard III.
M_Clark: I recently reread Richard III after reading Henry VI, part 3 and enjoyed it much more. First, the characters are more familiar since they play prominent roles in Henry VI. Second, the future Richard III begins his scheming in Henry VI, party 3.
M_Clark: This book by Stephen Greenblatt explains the political ideas of Shakespeare in a wonderfully readable book. Although many of the plays are discussed, he provides a great explanation to Henry VI and Richard III.
La obra va de menos a más y me ha dado a veces la impresión de estar hecha como a retazos. Supongo que habrá estudios sobre eso. La verdad es que no sé mucho sobre la historia de Inglaterra a finales de la Edad Media, que es cuando se sitúa la acción y eso hubiera ayudado bastante. El caso es que al principio no me aclaraba sobre quién era quién y mucho menos sobre sus diferentes parentescos, esenciales para situarse. Lo único que tenía claro era quién era el malo: el protagonista indiscutido de la obra.
Pero en los dos últimos actos la cosa mejora, y mucho, según mi opinión. Algunos parlamentos son sensacionales, como las maldiciones de la vieja reina Margarita, que me recordaron a las brujas de Macbeth, o las arengas de los dos personajes enfrentados (en un juego teatral fantástico, por cierto, con la puesta en escena a la vez de ambos dormidos en sus respectivas tiendas) a sus respectivos ejércitos. También me impresionaron los diálogos con las mujeres en las que Gloucester-Ricardo consigue seducir a aquellas a las que ha destrozado la vida, para luego matarlas o traicionarlas. Y, en fin, en la batalla final "¡Un caballo! ¡Mi reino por un caballo!". Fantástico aunque, como digo, los primeros actos cuesten un poco más. ( )
The remarkable and illuminating series of Arden Shakespeare editions continues with Shakespeare's (chronologically) first great play, King Richard III. A detailed introduction to the play, its history, language, characters, and publication details provides intricate knowledge of the play and its times. And the play itself is a masterpiece of history and colorful characters, particularly that of the debatably villainous title character. ( )
I'm hardly qualified to review this, so this is how it affected me. I tend towards the view of Josephine Tey's Alan Grant, that Richard was maligned, so I came at this defensively. Shakespeare makes Richard an excellent villain. Golden-tongued, hateful and cold-hearted, he is the epitome of dastardly doings. It is always a joy to read the words of Shakespeare, so I enjoyed the reading of this. As to the history, only our Maker knows the truth of Richard, III. ( )
Em matéria de vilania shakespeariana, nada suplanta o intrigante ladrão de coroas Richard III. Uma peça soberbamente dramática, na qual, por variações de ritmo entre os Atos, pelo rigor exigido na atuação por parte do elenco e por uma maravilhosa habilidade de elencar personagens secundários, em todos os momentos a poesia de Shakespeare, (quando impecavelmente recitada) aumenta, ininterrupta, a atmosfera dramática. As cenas de batalha, no clima, só rivalizam com a pompa das de Henrique V. Os solilóquios são íntimos , descarados no auto-deleite com a sua propria eloquência, e deliciosamente perversos. Não há nada aqui que exija a mise-en-scene sombria de Hamlet ou os conceitos teatrais destemidos de The Tempest. ( )

Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this son of York, And all the clouds that loured upon our house In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.

An honest tale speeds best, being plainly told.
True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings;
Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings.
A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!
