i kinda just talked about the fact that shakespeare's whole 'strategy' was to 1. appease queen elizabeth and reinforce elizabethan values through the play and 2. present the character of richard as a warning of machiavellian villiany and for pacino, how he wants to convey shakespeare to a modern audience, representing the character of richard through how he constructs the docudrama and his own method acting. for gender, i stated shakespeare's strategy of giving the women in the play subtle power (e.g voice against richard and being voices of reason and truth) and portraying them as strong willed women rather than removing all depth as pacino does, where he just portrays lady anne and the other characters solely for sex appeal and making them weak and shallow essentially producing a dissonance (this is just how i did it tho)
