Proud tyrants serve as a prime illustration of the Renaissance preoccupation with the conflict between Ego and Fortune. In most historical depictions of Richard III preceding Shakespeare, Richard is cast as an adversary and a divine instrument utilized to fortify the Tudor Myth and its legitimacy. Consequently, Richard III is typically portrayed as consumed by pride and ambition, facing ultimate punishment at the hands of the relentless Fortune. Shakespeare, however, not only presents Richard as an active architect of his destiny but also accentuates his self-awareness and autonomy in defiance of the Calvinists’ suppression of pride and self-love. Richard’s lack of fear of divine retribution and his intense focus on self-pity foreshadow the emergence of the modern sense of self.
