Richard Iii

Clarence’s big speech, Richard III

This is a beautiful speech, with exceptional imagery. I’ve included a few of Brakenbury’s lines, which break up Clarence’s description of his dream.

Richard’s most famous soliloquy

Richard III, Act 1, Scene 1 (First Folio, 1623)

Actus Primus. Scœna Prima.

Enter Richard Duke of Gloster, solus.
