“His deputy anointed in His sight, / Hath caused his death, the which if wrongfully, / Let heaven revenge, for I may never lift / An angry arm against his minister.” (1.2.38-41). This is the first concrete example of King Richard’s loss of power. John of Gaunt says to the Duchess of Gloucester that he refuses to exact revenge against Richard, even though Richard is probably behind the murder of his brother and her husband Gloucester, because Gaunt still believes that Richard was appointed to the…

inheritance that Bolingbroke defies his banishment in order to return and reclaim his birthright. However, unlike Richard, Bolingbroke continues to demonstrate the highest respect and understanding of the law, as he argues “As I was banished, I was banished Duke of Herford; but as I come, I come from Lancaster”. In denying Bolingbroke his legacy Richard displays a flagrant disregard for the law of primogeniture, the very law “that sustains his rights to the throne. “For how art thou a king but…

The 20th century was a period of rapid change in regards to politics, technology, and societal norms. The fluctuations that manifested themselves were especially apparent in Russia. For much of the century, the name Russia was obsolete; in its place, the communist Soviet Union took root. Prior to the communist takeover, Russia was under the control of the Romanov dynasty.

On the surface King Richard II seems a straightforward depiction of an unfit King’s steady stream towards being deposed. Shakespeare’s lack of favoritism gives a documentary point of view, yet commotional drama of a daytime soap opera.

was Duke safety Jeremy Cash. The standout defender formally interviewed with the Steelers on Sunday. Cash did not participate in drills at the combine due to wrist surgery he had following the season. But from what I have seen of Cash, his non-performance at the combine should have no effect on his draft stock. Originally an Ohio State Buckeye, Cash transferred following Urban Meyer’s arrive in Columbus. After sitting out at season, he would embark on one of the greatest careers in Duke…

loosing battle outside their walls. Teachers were assigning homework but kids were not doing it. (Chicago Tribune Schools Lesson Plan no More homework 5/8/05 by Jo Napolitano). People have been debating the academic value of homework for over a decade. Mike Burman who teaches high school said "If students are in school 7 hours a day, what right do I have to interfere with their family time" (by giving out homework)?
