** It is important to remember that literature can be influenced by myth just as myth can be perpetuated by literature and, thanks to technology, the adaptations of literary works (i.e. films). Look at the following images and watch the video clip to determine whether this may be the case for Richard III and Shakespeare's portrayal of the king.  

(5) View these photos of Richard III, which include his portrayal on canvas as well as in film.

After you finish viewing the photos and the video, answer these questions in your travel journal: 
1. Knowing how Shakespeare describes Richard in the play, could these paintings be the basis for that description? What are the similarities? Are there any differences?
2. Do the features that Shakespeare gives Richard III in the play make it into film adaptations as well? How?

I hope that you enjoyed your virtual field trip! You will now be completing a project based on what you have learned!
