Richard III Opinion/Genre

Never was there such a miserable, ruthless rat, as Richard III. Richard is first introduced as villainous, as he stands aside to tell the audience his evil intentions. It is out of bitter contempt and jealousy of his brother's reign that he decides to ascend to the throne. No outside sources influenced the intentions of Richard. His unhappiness with his physical deformity and his unattractiveness is what leads him to a heartless path of blood.
It is interesting to know that this history was written to model a king from reality. The awesome evil of Richard is portrayed by his deceptive nature. He acts as a two-faced character, tricking the other characters into believing his kind persona, while secretly devising his evil plan. He talks aside, many times, to the audience revealing himself.
In my opinion, Richard III was not terrible. I did not enjoy it as much as Macbeth, but I found it more interesting than a Midsummer Night's Dream. I found it frustrating to witness his actions and wished that someone killed him sooner. I thought that it was appropriate that all the ghosts who Richard killed came back to haunt him.
