1) What does Anne realize about her relationship with Richard?
The horrified Anne fears that Richard's coronation will mean ruin for England, and says that she should have resisted marrying Richard because after all, she herself has cursed him (in Act I, scene ii) for killing her first husband.
About to be crowned queen, she reveals that the curse she placed on Richard's future wife has ironically fallen upon her. As his wife, she has no peace, and Richard is continually haunted by bad dreams which in turn disrupt her sleep as she is kept awake by Richard's timorous dreams.

Even in so short a space, my woman's heart

Have I enjoy'd the golden dew of sleep,
But have been waked by his timorous dreams.
Besides, he hates me for my father Warwick;
And will, no doubt, shortly be rid of me.
