Opening monologue:
At his father's funeral (of King Henri VI), Gloucester mourns, although lasciviously. His family's blood waters the earth. Never has he pitied, loved, or feared– still yet he cries. Born a dog, feet-first and fanged. Hell crippled his soul; in proportion heaven deformed him.
When he slips, the chambermaid embraces to kiss . . .
. . . though in dream.
Without brother, friend, or counterpart: "I. . . I am different!"
Bene, Carmelo. Richard III. in Superpositions. Transl. Jean-Paul Manganaro and Danielle Dubroca. Paris
