No, the character of Richard III in the Shakespeare play does not
follow the precepts set out in Machiavelli's "The Prince". Richard III
does hatch complicated plots in quest of power, but he does not see
matters realistically and is not a pragmatic strategist. A true
Machiavellian would not rant and rave, would act rather than dream. He
would suffer no delusions of grandeur, as Richard III does.
