More about the book

The story centers on King Richard, whose arrogant and self-serving rule alienates his subjects and nobles alike. His favoritism and poor decisions culminate in the banishment of nobles Henry Bolingbroke and Thomas Mowbray, leading to Bolingbroke's return to reclaim his rightful inheritance. Despite being defended as God's chosen ruler, Richard's tyrannical actions sow discord among the nobility, setting the stage for a conflict that could cost him his throne. Written entirely in verse, this play showcases Shakespeare's masterful exploration of power and its consequences.
