Richard, the future king.
First line of the play: "Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this son of York." "A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!" "Was ever woman in this humour woo'd? Was ever woman in this humour won?"
This is taken from the beginning of the play. He is describing Richards feelings as he says Now is the winter of our discontent.He is feeling miserable as he compares his state of emotion to winter- the coldest and darkest season. He is using the royal we as his family is head of England. At this stage the cause of his misery is not clear.
Not "your discontent"; "our discontent". These are the first lines of the play Richard III, and Richard himself says them in soliloquy: "Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this sun of York. And all the clouds that lour'd on our house in the deep bosom of the ocean buried." What he means is that things hadn't been going so well for the Yorkies at the end of the last play, Henry VI Part 3, but they defeated Warwick and captured and killed Henry VI and his son, so now Edward VI, Richard's brother (the son of York, hence the pun about a "sun of York") is firmly in the saddle as King of England. Winter has turned to summer; the clouds have left the sky and the sun shines. Everything is peachy. (But we find out pretty soon that as far as Richard is concerned, things aren't as peachy as all that).
He or she is more lovely and more temperate, nor will his or her eternal summer fade or lose possession of the beauty he or she owns.

The Summer of my discontent was washed clean by the rains of Autumn. I would like to be able to display my discontent amicably.

It is a quote from a Shakespeare play, Richard III. The lines are said by the character playing Richard. "Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this sun of York; And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house In the deep bosom of the ocean buried. Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths; Our bruised arms hung up for monuments;............."

Richard III is a very long play and there are an awful lot of words used in it. Here are some to get you started: now, is, the, winter, of, our, discontent, made, glorious, summer, by, this, sun, of, York. Well, that's 15 words. You can carry on with the second line if you wish.
