Richard III: Act I, Scene III

We watched this scene in detail from the Al Pacino film, Looking for Richard, but didn't watch it from the McKellan version. Note some of the interesting choices; for example, Richard enters the scene with Lady Anne on his arm, like a trophy. And, sadly, no Queen Margaret. Follow along with your script and note changes or choices made and how they create meaning.

In the video Queen Elizabeth cuts Richard off alot but in the text she doesnt do so. Each line is said fully out than she speaks. Queen Elizabeth also calls Richard a name but in the text it is not shown. I think that in the text it shows that Queen Elizabeth at this point have the upmost respect for Richard.
