Richard's Speech

I have decided to incorporate the opening soliloquy from the TV version of Richard III. The main reason for this decision is that there is no music in the background and the clip is available on youtube. This opening speech really explains Richard's character. He start by talking about the War of the Roses and their recent success against the house of Lancaster. He then goes on to speak about his deformed features and how he can't attract women or do physical things that most people can because of it. The last lines where he says "And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover, To entertain these fair well-spoken days, I am determined to prove a villain And hate the idle pleasures of these days" which basically means that since he was born with the physical form of a 'monster' he is going to act as one.
