A
blessed labour, my most solemn liege:
-Gloucester
Richard III Act II, scene i, line 52
Richard (Gloucester) has just entered the room and his brother
King Edward IV has informed him that they have just made peace enmity, fair
love of hate, Between these swelling wrong-incensed peers. And Richard
responds with today’s Totally Random line. But of course that’s complete
baloney on the part of Richard because he, more than any other, is responsible
for all of the discord that Edward has been attempting to settle.
Richard is a good example of someone who is not what he
purports to be. In this play he’s a downright weasel. Historians differ as to
how much of a weasel he actually was, and how much of his weaselness was made
up or exaggerated by Will for the sake of drama. But in this play, make no
mistake about it; he is a weasel.
This is my impersonation of a weasel. Well, sort of. It's actually an otter, but that's pretty close. What do you think?
