At the end of Act I: scene i,  we learned that Richard wants both of his brothers, the king and Clarence. dead. He also mentions that he wants to marry Lady Anne. At the beginning of scene ii, Lady Anne accuses Richard for murdering her husband and father in law and hopes everything bad to occur to Richard in his life. At first Richard denies killing her husband and father in law, however, after a few pages in the play, he admitted that he did kill them and says,  “Your beauty was the cause of that effect, your beauty, that did haunt me in my sleep to undertake the death of all the world, so I might live one more hour in your sweet bosom” (I.II.121-124).

On youtube, I have found a short clip of this play that was recorded by the Shakespearean London Theatres. I thought this short version of scene ii was excellent and I was more engaged in the reading. I hope you all enjoy it!
