2. Affluent spread hatred by three-lined play. (7,3,3)
ok I think I got this
RICHARD THE III (play by Shakespeare)
RICH + (ARD + THE hatred) + III
although everywhere it says RICHARD III

Yes to the comment too. The actual title of the Shakespeare drama is simply "Richard III." I should've checked.

Update and hints.
1. Knock off the French, bete noire! I say. (4)
hint: Think of cheap leather-like jackets, shoes, recliners, etc., and most famously - political and social gaffes.
4. If vandalized lash out at Spanish with a greeting. (5,7)
hint: Think of the famous song of a Puerto Rican singer that is played in almost every public place during this season.

FELIZ NAVIDAD from IF + VANDALIZED
I had a hunch from the letter count that it should be something with these two words, but got lazy to go on an anagram generator to check it out.
1. Knock off the French, bete noire! I say. (4)
FAUX?
