The real character



In Richard II: Shakespeare: The Critical Tradition, Volume 9, Charles Forker makes a great point.
"The truth is, here in Richard II is a play without a hero. Richard is constantly represented in an unfavourable light - as weak, dilatory and selfish. The character with elements of popularity, who might easily have been made the central figure of the play, is Bolingbroke, yet, only lightly sketched in as compared with Richard ..."

What the playwright shows is not what there is. You can only see it as one viewpoint. The playwright paints a character in one way, but the reader at the end should know the character for himself.

Almost hypochondriac





As soon as I opened the package,I was amazed at the size of the doll. I saw the 'Try me' pointing to the stethescope. A gentle press led to a disco throb. The sick baby doubles as a beautiful doll as well as a great baby who knows whats wrong with her and asks the little mommy/doctor leading questions so she can be nursed back to feeling better. I didnt recognise the ear thermometer when I saw it. In that matter, the packaging was good with names of each of the instrument that the little doctor will need to make the baby feel better. I hadnt expected the sick baby's face to go red with fever. Luckily the insert had instructions on how to heal the baby with the medicine. Your little doctor can provide cure on the go with all his/her instruments that fit well into the doctor bag.
The sick baby talks in full sentences and struggles with words like stethescope and tongue depressor. A fun game that will teach the kids about identifying problems and solving them.
