What was the 3rd play that William shakespeare wrote?

Nobody can be exactly sure which plays were written when, or what order they were written in. There are some clues which usually tell us that a certain play must have been written before a certain date, when it was seen by someone, or put in the Stationer's Register, or commented on, or printed in book form. But these clues give us only a date before which the play must have been written, not the date it was written on. Scholars have put together many lists of the order in which Shakespeare's plays were written. They are all different from each other. There is no way to know which if any is right, or which was Shakespeare's first, second, third or last play.

How did Shakespeare portray King Richard the 3rd?

Shakespeare portrays Richard as a charismatic leader who uses his powers of linguistics in order to manipulate the other characters within the play to his will. Richard is arguably portrayed as an antihero, who follows his own set of beliefs and loves himself despite common conceptions of him (thus the line Richard: "Richard loves Richard"). However many others feel that his appearance in the play is just a ruse which he has created around himself and that in reality he is simply a villain and a wetting rat.
