This song reminds me of the people Richard III has murdered, and in Act 5 scene 3, lines 124-188 where the ghosts appear to torment Richard and encourage Richmond/ King Henry VII before the final battle. This line, where all of the ghosts say to Richmond/ Henry VII: "Awake, and think our wrongs in Richard's bosom [will] conquer him. Awake, and win the day" (Act 5 scene 3, lines 153-154) really caught my attention and stuck with me through the rest of the play. It seems such a final way to end Richard and his influence, much like the clip below where Death, from Supernatural, is first introduced and ends the life of the man who rudely bumped into him. Although I have watched that scene multiple times, I still get chills every time I see it. If we watch it in class, please let me know what you guys think.
