When reading through act III it becomes apparent that Richard II has moved away from his role as careless and naive king and is now faced with his own downfall. In this new situation that Richard has gotten himself into he no longer has the power with people turning on him on all sides. He has lost his allies and his armies, he is in a hopeless situation, and is humbled by how easily his mistakes have caught up to him. Richard has taken on the role of victim, however loosely that should be applied. Richard comes off as young child trying to come to terms with how his bad choices have created his downfall. He is now at the mercy of bullingbroke and he is very much aware that his has virtually lost his battle to retain power. He is full of regret of his actions at the end of this act it seems.
