Shakespearean Villain Free-for-All

The setup: the villains from ten Shakespeare plays are all competing to become the rulers of a location that none of them are personally familiar with. (This is to prevent, say, Claudius having an unfair advantage in taking over Denmark.) They are allowed to use as much scheming, and as much physical violence, as they like, and they can have as much prep time as they need before they take action.

All teams will also have access to 5-10 soldiers/servants who can fight for them and carry out tasks that the main villains don't want to do.

However, team members (e.g., Macbeth and Lady Macbeth) are not allowed to side with another team or directly kill their own allies. They can fight with each other and hamper the team's overall ability to win, but they can't directly sabotage themselves.

Who takes the crown?

Side note: Regarding the characters from the history plays, this discussion is only considering their portrayals in Shakespeare's plays, not their real-life counterparts.

Shakespeare Weekend!

French-born American painter and illustrator, Jean Charlot (1898-1979) illustrated King Henry the Sixth: Part Three, the last of the three-part play and the fourteenth volume of the thirty-seven volume The Comedies Histories & Tragedies of William Shakespeare, published by the Limited Editions Club (LEC) from 1939-1940. The plays were first acted in 1592. The second part was published anonymously in 1594, and the third part in 1595. All three parts were published in the folio of 1623.

The popularity of the Mexican printmaker, Jose Guadalupe Posada, is due in part to the work of Jean Charlot. Working primarily in Mexico, Charlot first saw Posadas work being sold on street corners in 1922. Posada’s original expressive style struck Charlot and he would become a contributor to the publication of catalogues on Posada’s work in 1928 and 1930. Charlot was a part of the Mexican Mural Movement, and his own work has been grouped and exhibited with with names such as Diego Rivera and David Siqueiros.  Charlot illustrated other books including Tito’s Hats by actor Mel Ferrer, Garden City Publishing, 1940; Carmen, the Limited Editions Club, 1941; and Springtime, Tales of the Cafe Rieu, 1956. Charlot became highly sought after by publishers who wanted illustrations for books having to do with Mexico.  When Charlot was first asked to illustrate Part Three of King Henry the Sixth he was not very excited. He had read a rather critical analysis of the text. But upon reading it for himself he became inspired saying: 

The very defects from the point of view of the modern theatre-goer seemed good qualities to me, who had seen in Mexico medieval mysteries and historical pageants performed by Indian actors on open air stages: the scenery a mere hanging rope, the facial expression reduced to naught by the use of masks....The drawings were, then, to function, hemmed between the strong guiding style of the play and the usual problems of illustration: subservience to format, equivalence to the black-and-white of the printed page.

The illustrations are reproduced from drawings by the artist. All volumes in the set were printed in an edition of 1950 copies at the Press of A. Colish, and each was illustrated by a different artist, but the unifying factor is that all volumes were designed by famed book and type designer Bruce Rogers and edited by the British theatre professional and Shakespeare specialist Herbert Farjeon. Our copy is number 1113, the number for long-standing LEC member Austin Fredric Lutter of Waukesha, Wisconsin.

Queen Margaret's monologue from Henry VI Part 3, Act 1, Scene 4, played by Kelly Hunter in the Arkangel Shakespeare audio dramatisation of the play.

[text below]

QUEEN MARGARET

Brave warriors, Clifford and Northumberland,

Come, make him stand upon this molehill here,

That raught at mountains with outstretched arms,

Yet parted but the shadow with his hand.

What! was it you that would be England's king?

Was't you that revell'd in our parliament,

And made a preachment of your high descent?

Where are your mess of sons to back you now?

The wanton Edward, and the lusty George?

And where's that valiant crook-back prodigy,

Dicky your boy, that with his grumbling voice

Was wont to cheer his dad in mutinies?

Or, with the rest, where is your darling Rutland?

Look, York: I stain'd this napkin with the blood

That valiant Clifford, with his rapier's point,

Made issue from the bosom of the boy;

And if thine eyes can water for his death,

I give thee this to dry thy cheeks withal.

Alas poor York! but that I hate thee deadly,

I should lament thy miserable state.

I prithee, grieve, to make me merry, York.

What, hath thy fiery heart so parch'd thine entrails

That not a tear can fall for Rutland's death?

Why art thou patient, man? thou shouldst be mad;

And I, to make thee mad, do mock thee thus.

Stamp, rave, and fret, that I may sing and dance.

Thou wouldst be fee'd, I see, to make me sport:

York cannot speak, unless he wear a crown.

A crown for York! and, lords, bow low to him:

Hold you his hands, whilst I do set it on.

(Putting a paper crown on his head)

Ay, marry, sir, now looks he like a king!

Ay, this is he that took King Henry's chair,

And this is he was his adopted heir.

But how is it that great Plantagenet

Is crown'd so soon, and broke his solemn oath?

As I bethink me, you should not be king

Till our King Henry had shook hands with death.

And will you pale your head in Henry's glory,

And rob his temples of the diadem,

Now in his life, against your holy oath?

O, 'tis a fault too too unpardonable!

Off with the crown, and with the crown his head;

And, whilst we breathe, take time to do him dead.

CLIFFORD

That is my office, for my father's sake.

QUEEN MARGARET

Nay, stay; lets hear the orisons he makes.

Henry VI: Come hither, England's hope. If secret powers Suggest the truth to my divining thoughts, This pretty lad will prove our country's bliss. His head by nature framed to wear a crown, His hand to wield a sceptre, and himself Likely in time to bless a regal throne. The little Henry, Earl of Richmond and the rest of the court: yeah ok that's a definitely normal thing to say.

#i always find the little prophetic speech towards the young henry tudor to be kinda funny #i understand its purpose very well but just like. come on lol #he was a welshman whose natural claim to the throne would've been very tenuous wo the right of conquest #he was from the beaufort line!!! forsooth!!! #henry iv wrote laws to delegitimize his half-siblings from katherine swynford with john of gaunt #in the line of succession. #not that i think henry vi would've necessarily cared that much but like damn #you just got restored to the throne and your son is still alive!!!! #henry vi part 3 #3 henry vi #iii henry vi #shakespeare

10/5/2023-10/9/2023: Henry VI, Part 3

So many double-crosses that it's hard to keep track. Or, to be honest, care.

Everything is time-compressed, too. So you have people taking one position in Act 3, another in Act 4, and back to the original in Act 5. It's tiring.

The overall thrust, though, is that Edward (of York) ends up King, and Henry VI ends up dead. A bunch of other people are also dead. Edward's brother Richard (mostly called Gloster here, presumably just to confuse people) has a big breakout in Acts 4 and 5, in which he says that he's just going to be evil and slaughter his way to the crown.

I look forward to that, because it means we'll have a straightforward protagonist working toward a goal. These Henry plays are all about Historical Sweep, so they tend not to have, well, characters.

Henry VI himself is barely in this play. At one point, he seems like he's King again, and he immediately cedes power to Warwick so that he can occupy himself with reading the Bible. What a drip. No wonder everybody is eager to steal the crown from him.

This play is full of end-of-scene couplets, which feels like a new development since Part 2.

Next up: Richard III

#shakespeare #henry vi part 3

[kashilascorner]

Read in 2023: Henry VI (parts 2-3) & Richard III (William Shakespeare)

"More can I bear than you dare execute."

"To weep is to make less the depth of grief: Tears then for babes; blows and revenge for me."

"And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover, To entertain these fair well-spoken days, I am determined to prove a villain And hate the idle pleasures of these days."

#i love the continuation between part 3 and richard iii #i love the opening soliloquy to richard iii #i love whatever it is that gloucester and his wife had gong on in part 2 #i love margaret in part 3 and i love her cursing everyone afterwards #i just really like these ok #litedit #henry vi #richard iii #shakespeare #books in 2023

[prettyboysdontlookatexplosions]

also a disadvantage of doing such a lifelessly faithful adaptation where almost every single decent thing in the show comes straight from the comics is that when something good happens in the comics and doesn't make it into the show it's like, why. for instance huge missed opportunity IMO to have baby shakespeare be dunked on for a terrible line real life shakespeare actually wrote. gaiman went with "bad revolting stars" but if you wanted a switch you could go with "o were mine eyeballs into bullets turn'd / that i in rage might shoot them at your faces"

#that's real shakespeare really wrote that #henry the vi part one #he wrote a play so long it needed multiple parts and one of the lines he felt the need to include was this one #but also like the shakespeare bargain loses something when he's just a zealous fanboy #and we don't actually get to SEE him as a young writer struggling to hone his craft #and humiliated by the gap between his taste and his skill #this is captured concisely and comically in 3 panels
