I believe that Richard is being made into a villain. He is an incredible and intelligent man, who would be a great leader. Edward may be the oldest, but that doesn't make him the best to lead our country. He only has created nothing, but violence, his idea of diplomacy is creating war and causing bloodshed. Richard doesn't have such primitive characteristics that are sometimes look past because of a physical appearance. He is civil, well spoken, intelligent, individual whose wit is overlooked because of the order in which he was born. The sooner we take recognition of his intangibles the sooner that England can have a king that is truly meant to posses the throne. It is time for England to abandon her old ways and embrace Richard as our King, for if embraced as the new King of England, he can lead our great country to prosperity to which we have never experienced.
-Buckingham

I find this view of Richard to be unique, and different. In addition, Richard, as Anne reminds us in Act 4 scene 1, is cursed by her own tongue, back in act 1, scene 2. Buckingham, I believe Richard may not be as innocent as you claim. After all, it was him who caused you to flee to wales, was it not? A man so greedy for power should not be given the amount as great as was given to Richard. He has had those who should have been closest to him murdered on many accounts. I do believe Richard is at fault for most of the horror that has occurred.
