Eager to rouse her brother-in-law, John of Gaunt, to action in an opening scene of Shakespeare's Tragedy of King Richard II, the Duchess of Gloucester invokes an image that serves as a representational axis for the play. Speaking of her murdered husband, Woodstock, whose name acquires a punning force in the context of her words, she urges: One flourishing branch of his most royal root, Is cracked, and all the precious liquor spilt; Is hacked down, and his summer leaves all faded By envy's hand and murder's bloody axe.1 KeywordsHuman FormTitle PageExcellent DiscussionDead MatterBurial RiteThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
