(Richard Il speaking to himself in third person-) What must the king do now? must he submit?
The king shall do it: must he be deposed?
The king shall be contented: must he lose
The name of king? o God's name, let it go:
I'll give my jewels for a set of beads,
My gorgeous palace for a hermitage,
My gay apparel for an almsman's gown,
My figured goblets for a dish of wood,

My sceptre for a palmer's walking staff,
My subjects for a pair of carved saints
And my large kingdom for a little grave,
A little little grave, an obscure grave;
Or I'll be buried in the king's highway.

Some way of common trade, where subjects' feet
May hourly trample on their sovereign's head:
For on my heart they tread now whilst live:
And buried once, why not upon my head?

(Richard II 3.3.143-159)

If this excerpt of a soliloquy from Shakespeare's play Richard were to be transformed into a novel, what characteristics might that
novel exhibit?

A) Richard would not be deposed in a novel form of this story; he would most likely keep the crown.

B) Instead of being sad at losing the crown, the character of Richard would rejoice in his being deposed.

C) Richard's emotions would probably be described by the narrator rather than stated directly to the reader in dialogue.

D) A novelization of this moment would probably include much less parallel structure than is present in Shakespeare's words.
