Richard “Dick” III

Richard III by Shakespeare as directed Richard Loncraine is highly intriguing. Richard is most definitely a narcissist and tyrant by all the definitions we talked about in class. It was weirdly impressive how his toxic charisma was able to convince so many people to follow him. When Richard’s III mother went off on Richard she seemed to be one of the only ones who noticed he was being so tyrannical. It makes you wonder what the mothers of people like Hitler felt when their children became what they were.

Then in the discussion and deconstruction by Professor Bezio of the characters within in Richard III. The idea that Richard III can equate to Trump was kinda funny to me especially in regards to the Toxic Charisma and Crooked politics. The connection is fairly obvious Trump especially when it regards to how the two conduct themselves in public. They are both charismatic but when you look closer both seem highly narcissistic. And their toxic charisma messes with the natural flow of the countries they govern

    You have an interesting point when you bring up the feelings the mothers of these toxic charismatics have. For example, there was am an interview with El Chapo’s mother and she said that even though her son was viewed as such a bad person, he was still her son. This is when I question, like you, what are the feelings of the mother of Trump has towards him.
