Check your copy of Richard III to see if it is based on the quarto or folio version of the play. Then go to the library or look online for an edition of the play based on the version that your edition is not based on. The goal is to place a quarto version and a folio version side-by-side. Turn to Act 1, Scene 4, and look at the discussion of conscience between the two murderers (or "executioners" as they are called in the quarto). Notice that the quarto and folio assign lines differently so that some lines spoken by murderer/executioner 1 in the quarto are assigned to murderer/executioner 2 in the folio, and vice-versa. Continue comparing both version through the end of the scene.

What differences do you notice? What are some implications, not just for the two characters, but for the scene and perhaps the entire play more generally? Write a brief (1-2 paragraph) analytical argument based on your observations and interpretations, and be prepared to discuss these arguments in class.
