- 18621: Human Aggression
- ... does not, however, act this way based on instinct alone. Aggression is a molded, learned behavior. A human being must have both environmental and instinctual factors in order to display aggression. Some of a person’s natural instincts are to desire food, reject certain things, escape from danger, fight when challenged, sex desire, care for the young, dominate, and to accept inferior status. The combination of instincts and environment determines a person’s behavior. This is based on the theory that everything human beings do would have to be learned from other human beings.

The first scene of the play begins with a soliloquy, which emphasizes Richard's physical isolation, as he appears alone and speaks to the audience. This idea of physical isolation is heightened by his references to his deformity, such as "rudely stamp'd... Cheated of feature by dissembling Nature,/ deformed, unfinished" (I, i, 19). This deformity would be an outward indication to the audience of the viciousness of his spirit. The concept of Richard's physical isolation is reinforced in his dealings with Anne. She calls him "thou lump of foul deformity" and "fouler toad" during their exchange.
