Melissa is on page 55 of 290 of Richard II
I'm really struck this go-around by Shakespeare's focus on England's own government (Richard II) destroying her from within through taxes and disregarding the law of the land.

"That England that was wont to conquer others, Hath made a shameful conquest of itself."

"Thy deathbed is no less than thy land, Wherein thou liest in reputation sick . . . Landlord of England art thou now, not king."

Wow, the shirts scene! Such a vivid image of all that finery and frippery, and Daisy bawling into one of the shirts like she's found the source of all her desires...
