I love a good Shakespearean analogy more than most, but while Richard II calls back to the sad fall and humbling of a king, I think the demise of the thief Bardolph might have been more appropriate.

nostr:npub1ahqj3ek7s7lrt4ygsthymx0j0vqunam8vc6ejhn9qn7037prm0pq83wjwd I'd go for Malvolio, stripped of his office and humiliated before the court for his arrogance and presumption, but maybe Twelfth Night is not as well known as... Richard II?
