This analysis of Richard II distills Shakespeare's play, emphasizing its central themes and pivotal moments. King Richard II's downfall stems from his belief in his divine right to rule, compounded by his mismanagement and detachment from his subjects. Key events include the accusation and banishment of Richard's cousin, Henry Bolingbroke, the seizure of John of Gaunt's estate, and Bolingbroke's return and uprising. ""I wasted time, and now doth time waste me" complains Richard II.
