comment on the monarchy.
Viewed historically, threats and promises of violence in Shakespeare often dramatize the dangers of illegitimate power and the fragility of political order. Plays like Richard III and Macbeth use violence not merely for thrill but to expose how rulers win and keep power, the costs of tyranny, and anxieties about succession and stability in Elizabethan/Stuart England.
