If you are worried about reading Shakespeare, or are not a native English speaker and think Shakespeare is beyond you, you will want to watch this video.
In this installment of Tristan and the Classics, we take a look at the Duke of Gloucester's (aka Richard III) speech in Shakespeare's play Henry VI act III with the famous line "and set the murderous Machiavel to school."
When Shakespeare decides to put words into the mouths of nobles the effect is wondrous. Richard, Duke of Gloucester is no exception. In fact he is one of the most vibrant characters ever written. His cunning, eloquence, and evil is both fascinating and amusing to behold.
Enjoy!
