Richard was a pretty terrible guy, and I can't say that I liked him all that much, but it was kind of interesting to read a story where the main character is the villain. Was also pretty obsessed with all the female characters in the play. I'm uncertain of why I just found them so interesting. I especially liked how Queen Margaret was able to kill basically everyone just by speaking it into existence. Girly was manifesting before it was popular what a trend setter. I also enjoyed all the insults in this play. I never knew there were so many ways to offend someone. I get why one would enjoy Shakespeare's historical plays. Who wants to read about history when you can see it dramatized on stage for your entertainment?
