Description

Richard the Second is essentially weak and vacillating.

Self-indulgent and prodigal, he appears to be a natural candidate for overthrow by his cousin, Henry Bolingbroke.

He is a man who enjoys the trappings of being king but fails to measure up to the responsibilities.

Self-pitying and duplicitous, perhaps he deserves the readers pity-but he doesnt elicit pity from his subjects or his peers.

In one sense, then, it seems ordained that he be replaced by the future Henry IV.
