I just think that Shakespeare was writing for the Tudors as patrons and had to 'tow the line' in those hazardous days. I think his play Richard III was written very 'tongue in cheek' so that the audience could take it at face value and boo the villain or, by reading between the lines, see how over the top the portrayal was:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-69552095056700141612012-09-16T11:57:12.962+01:002012-09-16T11:57:12.962+01:00The best place for him to be reburied, I think wou...The best place for him to be reburied, I think would be back with his parents at Fotheringhay- then he would complete the circle, having been born there and where his parents lie. I think he is a very interesting and possibly misunderstood character who has been maligned by Shakespeare and so for many hundreds of years had a terrible reputation. I do not think that he murdered the boys in the tower, there were many factions at that time jostling for power.. Whatever happens I do hope he is buried in peace and dignity.janzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061408016373122220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-40406751470912067182012-09-16T11:56:12.268+01:002012-09-16T11:56:12.268+01:00Yes he is still on TV - Channel 4 Wales, in cartoo...Yes he is still on TV - Channel 4 Wales, in cartoon form of course.
