This paper considers Shakespeare’s Richard III as a Gothic work and aims to analyze the characteristics of the Gothic in the play. Richard III includes the Gothic conventions such as a haunted house, deformity, nightmares, murdered children, curses and imprisonment as well as prophecies, omens and portents. Richard’ monstrous appearance highlights the relationship of the play with the Gothic past. Shakespeare created a spectre of medieval monstrosity in the figure of Richard. The presence of deformed Richard and his usurpation hints at disrupting the natural order of things and underscores the persistence of past violence. To be sure, his own characteristic of the Gothic monstrosity and foul action based on his deformed birth demonstrates that history repeats itself because his crimes on the familial violence within the royal house remind the Renaissance audience (or us) the Wars of the Roses. Margaret, creating a evident atmosphere of fear in the play, also serves as a spectre of the Gothic past and reminds Richard of his crimes against her family through her violent curses, wishing to raise the ghosts of war. The ghosts of a past finally appear in Richard’s nightmare on the night before the battel at Bosworth Field and he pays the price of his villainy which causes the house of York to be knocked to the ground. Ultimately, the characteristics of the Gothic found in Richard III draws a parallel between the civil war that continuously threatens the house of York and the civil anxiety as well as uncertain political fortune that surrounds Queen Elizabeth.
Abstract
This paper considers Shakespeare’s Richard III as a Gothic work and aims to analyze the characteristics of the Gothic in the play. Richard III includes the Gothic conventions such as a haunted house, deformity, nightmares, murdered children, curses and imprisonment as well as prophecies, omens and portents. Richard’ monstrous appearance highlights the relationship of the play with the Gothic past. Shakespeare created a spectre of medieval monstrosity in the figure of Richard. The presence of deformed Richard and his usurpation hints at disrupting the natural order of things and underscores the persistence of past violence. To be sure, his own characteristic of the Gothic monstrosity and foul action based on his deformed birth demonstrates that history repeats itself because his crimes on the familial violence within the royal house remind the Renaissance audience (or us) the Wars of the Roses. Margaret, creating a evident atmosphere of fear in the play, also serves as a spectre of the Gothic past and reminds Richard of his crimes against her family through her violent curses, wishing to raise the ghosts of war. The ghosts of a past finally appear in Richard’s nightmare on the night before the battel at Bosworth Field and he pays the price of his villainy which causes the house of York to be knocked to the ground. Ultimately, the characteristics of the Gothic found in Richard III draws a parallel between the civil war that continuously threatens the house of York and the civil anxiety as well as uncertain political fortune that surrounds Queen Elizabeth.
