Richard the third analysis

In Richard the third we see the incredible greed and evil that human beings are capable of possessing. Richard betrays him family and his friends for his personal benefit. He commits unspeakable crimes that would be on par with that of a serial killer in todays society. Among Richard's most heinous crimes is the killing of a husband and then marring the deseaced's wife and then killing her. Also under his command was the killing of small children. Shakespeare encompassed in this history the evil that is capable from a single human being. In his writing he was able to make the audience hate a character passionately.

I don't think shakespeare intended for Richard to be "hated passionately". I think he actually had fun writing this, and I think he actually admired Richard's wicked cleverness and the way he manipulated people despite his deformities.
