RE: Shakespeare's Richard III: No Redemption
I think characters that are without a redeeming quality, but with a lot of evil ambition, can be really fascinating and Shakespeare was so well at crafting characters that intrigued the audience.
So true! Ian McKellen does a fantastic job playing Richard in the 1995 film production. Although the film makers do not directly say it, Richard resembles Hitler and the world around him resembles the Nazis regime. If you haven't seen it, I would highly recommend it!
