Richard the third consummate villain

 Richard the third the consummate villain

A confession, I always liked Shakespeare's Richard the third better than Hamlet or Shylock. Richard the consummate villain. Jessie James in old England. Of course William S the consummate writer takes many liberties with his English history. 

But what really hooked me on Richard was his lust towards lady Anne. Followed by his detachment of her. 

Being old now sometimes I can relate to Richard; I am who am now not shaped [ any longer] for sportive tricks with a wanton ambling nymph.  

Richard the third is a great play but don't try the part unless you can remember a lot of complicated dialogues and dispatch anyone who appears an enemy to thou in your delusions. Of Course if you do overcome the role you will be thought of as finally arrived, fame and revenge in one basket.
