     I think that in the play and the movie of Richard III, there are many things that can be seen and argumented about.  Such things like the ideas of loyalty and servialence, the idea that the people around Richard are always being watched in every move they make.  The idea of loyalty, and how he strongly believes his loyalty should not be questioned or doubted upon by others.  Richard believes that everyone should remain loyal to him and never doubt him on what his decisions are because if someone does doubt him in any way, the person will get killed.  Richard is always watching what the people around him do both in the movie and in the play, he is always sending people to do his dirty work for him and for him to be seen as the innocent person , who would never do anything to arm anyone.  Meanwhile, while no one is around he does what is known for doing killing people and making sure that they obey him.  The idea of his loyalty, is also something that we see.  Everyone, must remain loyal to him and not even think twice about betraying him or thinking about other people to be king, because according to him, he is the only one who should be king of England and no one should take what is his.  Although, its not mentioned I believe that the idea of being greedy is present in the play, because Richard is always wanting everything for him and to himself.  Richard is always wanting to believe that everything should be for him and that he is always right with everything.  The idea of wanting more and more of what you already have and making sure no one else takes what is yours, to me is called greed, and being self-centered because Richard doesn't care about anyone else but himself and how he will achieve, what he wants.  He doesn't care in the most minimum of anyone else and their opinions and if the person is okay, all that concerns him is his well being.  He is a greedy, self- centered, human being that only cares for him and in the end the way he acted comes back to haunt him.  Because he cannot live at peace and seem to make peace with himself in order to live peacefully, instead everything he did will and is coming back to haunt him and eventually he pays for everything he did.  Which is what he deserved, he deserved to be taught that everything you do comes back to get you and there is no way you are safe from it, He lived with that until he left and he pad for it.
