While I enjoyed the play and the story, I find it interesting how Shakespeare fed into the Tutor propaganda and portrayed King Richard III as a complete monster outside and in. It's completely understandable why Shakespeare would do this, he was writing for Tutor England and let's face it, an evil monster makes a more interesting character than a not-so-terrible albeit greedy man. However, as usual, the characters are well developed and human nature is at its purest. There are also some great, memorable lines.
