In reviewing the play “Richard II” written by William Shakespeare, I chose to discuss question number 3, which was the deposition scene is one of the play’s most powerful events. The deposition scene was one of the plays most powerful events because King Richard felt like or compared being betrayed by his men as Judas betrayed Jesus Christ (Bevington, 2014).

In his “Poor Richard’s Almanack” Franklin writes that "He that drinks his cyder alone, let him catch his horse alone" (26). Franklin lived his life standing by this principle that he preached through his publications. He gave every ounce of his success back to his community while revolutionizing public service and philanthropy.

Pacino’s Looking for Richard is a modern reinterpretation of the underlying themes from Shakespeare’s Richard III. Power, ambition, and free will are recurrent themes in both, yet they also relate to the more basic elements of what makes us human. It is what has changed between Shakespeare’s portrayal of a monster and Pacino’s subversion of the character which gives insight into the respective contextual concerns. Pacino’s Looking for Richard demonstrates how the reshaping of an original text, Richard III, is influenced by the cultural assumptions, context and key values. P1 - Cultural assumptions - the pursuit of power Shakespeare makes symbolic use of cultural assumptions Religion was a very integral and key part of the Elizabethan era.

Nils Christie’s view on modern law is that due to specialization, victims have lost the right to participate in their trials. Lawyers are becoming too involved in cases, taking conflicts away from parties and turning them into property. Christie states there there is less attention focused on the effects on the victim and more focus on the criminal’s background. Christie also states that getting a court to function is difficult while there are specialists present. According to Christie, parties become uneasy with handling their own social conflicts where they know there are professionals present who they believe can do a better job.

Shakespeare really wrote tragedies of great heights and earned standard category. His one of the best creation Richard II is a historical play rather being a tragedy.

The play is consequently written not about the down fall of its hero but around the chronological stages by which Bolingbroke threatens, captures, and retains the crown.
