Sir Richard seems to be such a nasty character! However, I have a hard time believing he really is evil at heart. My master Petruccio seemed to share many of the same characteristics that he did. Both tried to win women's hearts by their intense words and pushy attitudes.
I think that Richard tries hard to be evil, but in the end he's really not going to be that nasty. I feel very bad for the man. It must be hard to be so hideous. I wonder how he faces the world each day.
To be changed, I think he must fall in love! Love is missing from his life, he says so in his first speech. Because he can't amuse himself by being in love, he would rather be an evil man.
However, he is also a very chauvinistic character. He believes that much of the evil in the world is caused by women! He needs a woman like Kate in his life to show him that not all women are evil.

Grumio,
I am right with you on this thought. Richard seems to be very evil and self-centered, but I think we should all have some sympathy for him. One is judged very quickly by their physical appearance. This must happen to Richard every day. Of course his appearance should not justify his actions, but we should consider it an underlying cause of his "character," or the way he acts. I think that Richard will find true love soon. Hopefully, his life and destiny will not turn out the same way mine did. I am afraid that the tragedy that faced my family and I was a result of my own actions. I wish Richard the best of luck with his intentions.
