Description
The heart of Thomas More's very influential History of King Richard III is the Tower scene, whose authenticity has been thought to be guaranteed by the eyewitness testimony of More's good friend Bishop Morton. Analysis of the scene and other parts of the history reveal that the details of the scene are untrustworthy as history, and that the parts of the scene that are unique to More's history can be explained as a creation influenced by both literary and didactic factors. An analysis of the apparent symbolism of the scene is included.
