Shakespeare’s histories tell of events in the lives of English kings. But as a playwright, Shakespeare took creative liberties when writing them. In fact, he sometimes changed details to appeal to Queen Elizabeth I, the queen who reigned during much of his career. In his play Richard III, Shakespeare portrays the title character as extremely evil, corrupt and murderous. Queen Elizabeth I was a descendent of the king who had overthrown the real Richard III. So, Richard was hated during Elizabeth I’s time. To avoid contradicting the queen’s opinion, Shakespeare exaggerated the character Richard’s negative qualities in his play. Which of the following statements would the author of this passage most likely agree with?

A
Every detail in Shakespeare’s histories is true.

B
Some details in Shakespeare’s histories are not completely true.

C
Shakespeare’s histories are so unrealistic that they’re not enjoyable.

D
Shakespeare should not have tried to appeal to the queen with his histories.
