1) How long exactly?

2) Have you read the play and seen the movie?

3) Did your teacher give you a guideline for the essay's form?

It has to be about 8 pages long . And the teacher told me to come up with a title and a few ideas. Well.. I can't really do that as long as I don't know how to link the two together. ( the text and what Pacin did ) :(

Have you seen the Pacino film?

Richard III was made out by Shakespeare to be mean, vile, and ugly. The film (Pacino as himself and as Richard III) interviews people who lived during Richard's lifetime to figure out if that was true. Did he really kill the two little princes? Was he really a hunchback? The point of the film is that literate viewers come to appreciate Shakespeare and his history plays.

If you haven't watched the film, nothing more I say here will help you.
