PERSONAL OPINION

 I like the play because show very well the play of Shakespeare, the adaptation is good.  I like the reaction of the public in some scene. RIII is that it is the tragedy of a man obviously competent in persuasion and manipulation, which could have  been used for the common good, but is used instead for destructive, selfish purposes.
