In Shakespeare's play, Clarence is imprisoned in a tower and believes it was the Queen who has imprisoned him. Ironically, it is actually Richard who sent him to this prison, and who eventually has him killed. There is a dramatic irony in the fact that we know about Richard's evil machinations before Clarence does.
