Richard III Act 3 Scene 7 - Point of View

Richard deceives lots of people in his bloody and violent path to power. Perhaps his most daring deception comes in Act 3 scene 7 when, with the help of Buckingham and Catesby, he convincingly disguises his true self and acts the part of a holy man, uninterested in power. In a public performance designed to appeal to an audience made up of the Mayor and citizens of London, he convinces them that he is a fitting, if reluctant candidate for the throne of England.
