It's possibly one of the wordiest of the plays

That's part of its charm!

I wrote my BA thesis on Richard II, as mentioned above, mostly because I'd read it the summer before I started on the thesis, and although I'd expected to really like it based on what I knew about it going in, it sort of left me cold: I admired the language but it didn't do a thing for me emotionally, and this bothered me enough (being a fledgling Shakespearean) that I needed to work this out. Thus I got a thesis. Also over the course of the year I spent writing the thing the play sort of worked its way under my skin and since then has steadfastly refused to leave me alone. (Needless to say, at some point I can't trace, I figured it out... ;) )
