Table of Contents Act II, SCENE 3 The scene is a field of battle between Towton and Saxton in Yorkshire. Warwick enters, tired and exhausted and stops a while to rest and regain his strength. Edward is also seen running, admitting defeat. George enters and says that they have lost their hope and ruin is going to befall them. He asks Warwick what to do and where they should go. Edward says their enemies are following them and Richard enters and informs them about the death of Warwick's brother at the hands of Clifford. Richard tells Warwick that at the time of dying, his brother had cried 'Warwick revenge my death' and then died. Warwick is enraged on hearing this and says that instead of standing there like soft hearted women counting and wailing their losses, they shall revenge his brother's death. He vows that he will never stop until he takes his revenge on Clifford. They all decide to fight to the death and bid farewell to each other and say that they shall meet again in heaven or in earth. Notes This scene reveals just one more death that will need to be avenged. Here the Yorkists are seen to be nearly defeated until hearing of Warwick's brother's death. Warwick vows that he will never rest again until death or until he gets a chance to take revenge on Clifford. Their departing remarks show a certain despondency about the possibility of their deaths. Richard, who has not wept yet, starts weeping thinking that his life may be over. He embraces his brother and Warwick with his tired hands. George advises them to inspire their troops to stand together like pillars of support by promising handsome rewards, which shows that George is practical and has common sense. Table of Contents | |
