    The wicked figure in William Shakespeares Macbeth and Richard III

    The appearance of a villain character ususally influences the act of the good protagonist, it strictly determines the outcome of a story, unless the main character is the bad one. Although both in Macbeth and Richard III the story is built up around a wicked and bloody-handed protagonist, each of them has different personality and motivation. In this essay I would like to discuss how these differentiations influence the deeds of the protagonists and the impressions that they can make on us. First, the judgement of these two characters are not the same in the beginning of the story: Richard represents the instinctively wicked person, while Macbeth becomes villain because of an external impact.
