Pg.107 Act 2, Scene 1
"What blessed work, ... for my humbleness."
The importance of this passage, Richard makes peace with everyone that hates him. He did this in front of King Edward IV before he died. It's very important and when I think about this passage I see him secretly making his way up to the throne. He ends up betraying Rivers and Grey. So he can kill Price Edward, of Wales. He in prisons Rivers and Grey when he finds out that they are going to be guarding the price to escort him to get him crowned.
Pg. 125 Act 2, Scene 2
"The king made...to get along."
The importance of this passage, Richard states that the king made them agree to get along before he died, and he is tricking Rivers and everyone else into thinking that he is going to follow up with the agreement they had with King Edward. They believe him of course he knows how to lie quite well , and by doing so he waits till everyone leaves to talk with Buckingham(his partner in crime).Buckingham tells him first that they need to be part of the group that assist Prince Edward to the crowning. Richard agrees, and tells Buckingham he will the the one to assassinate Price Edward to kill him.
I agree that the first passage is an important passage because this was the for Richard to trick King Edward and everyone else before King Edward died. It is also important because now people think that he has actually changed.Richard sends his mom the Dutches and Queen Elizabeth to met the prince just so they can imprison Lord Rivers, Grey, and Vaughn
ReplyDeleteI agree with the second passage because making everyone get along is the last thing King Edward did before he died. This is also important because it shows now that Buckingham is working with Richard.Richard only wants to kill the Prince just so that he can be king.
