Multiple Choice

A student is writing the first paragraph in their comparative essay for Module A.

Which of the following sentences best shows their understanding of the textual conversation between King Richard III and Looking for Richard?

• Extending his original role as the manipulative metadirector, Richard contradicts his villainous statement “I cannot prove a lover” to charm not only Anne, but the reader in a parody of love, ultimately beginning a conversation about megalomania that resonates three centuries later.

• The listing of unpleasant visual imagery illuminates his deformity, synonymous with God’s punishment against evil in the Elizabethan Levitical Doctrine; Pacino would later recycle this into a predetermined view of Richard's psyche.

• By illuminating Richard's self-determined ambition, Shakespeare effectively sets the stage for future textual conversations to occur.

• By capturing the essence of Elizabethan self-determinism, Shakespeare constructs a framework within which Pacino innovates the concept of fate in his directorial prowess over the motivations, ascent and demise of a postmodern King Richard III.
