Summary: "King Richard III" by William Shakespeare is a historical tragedy written during the late 16th century. The play explores the rise and fall of Richard, Duke of Gloucester, who seeks power through manipulation, betrayal, and murder, ultimately leading to his reign as King Richard III. The opening of the play introduces Richard, who expresses his disdain for the peace that follows the Wars of the Roses, feeling out of place due to his physical deformity. He resolves to become a villain to achieve his ambitions, plotting against his brother Clarence and King Edward IV. As the scenes unfold, Richard's treachery is coupled with his interactions with other characters, including Lady Anne, whose husband he murdered, setting the stage for a tale steeped in ambition, revenge, and the power struggles of a deeply fractured royal family.
