The book by Robert Bolt is an outdated classic and has a practical lesson at the moment. I first found it as a child, so I gained a lot of pleasure from reading this book and rereading it.
Robert Bolt is developing a theater based on the story of King King Henry VIII. In 1509, Henry VIII married his brother's widow, Catherine of Spain, and strengthened the political alliance with Spain of England. The Pope thanked Henry exempted from the Catholic Law and allowed him to marry Catherine.
However, the couple could not produce heirs and descendants of men. Henry thought of marriage with Catherine which was barren like a brick abolished by the Catholic Church to allow the Catholic Church to marry what he now loves. Quoting Leviticus 18, he nodded that marriage was wrong in the eyes of God and did not lay a heir of a man was to punish the sins of this church's Bible.
After the son she took my responsibility, Thomas, a man born and died, or a man who died in the month; I never saw that God's hands could look anything I have never ... ... My daughter, she has a good child, a child well bred, I have no son. & # 39;
When Clemens VII refused to throw away his distribution, he admitted divorce, Henry replaced the pope, Cardinal Wolsey, with Thomas More to former Prime Minister of England. The king tried to get the support of his prime minister's divorce, but despite the constant desperate recommendation of Henry, there was even more fierce opposition.
The solution to Henry's culprit Cromwell's further persistence was pressure. He believed that Moare was just a man, and that everyone had a price. So he began collecting the information he found in him. He is a major plotter against More. He is pleased with delight. When he handcuffs him, he can hardly see his smile:
I charge you with great respect. I remind you of the many benefits that were given gracefully and were sick. I say that the king of England has no such bad person, as yourself, a rebellious person. & # 39;
By guilt and enforcement, Cromwell was able to make members of his household more conspired. Meanwhile, Henry passed a law denying the authority of the Catholic church of England. When Crammer approved Henry 's divorce and remarriage, Henry exiled from the Catholic church. Later in 1534, Congress established Henry as Church of England and enacted the highest authority law which revealed the authority of the Pope.
When he heard this, Mr. More resigned as prime minister. Congress enacted another law, but this time the defendant is asked to swear about the oath of the Kingdom of Henry in Britain against the church and the validity of divorce and remarriage. I refused to take an oath and was hospitalized.
Cromwell is looking for a man, Rich, of Machiavelli who could not see his ambition. By appointing him Wales Attorney General of the lease, false testimony will be given at trial. After all, More was convicted of High Treason and sent to the scaffold.
Thomas More is a tragic hero of the story. He was a high reputation lawyer, a solid Christian, and a creative Catholic. He was an elite, eloquent, witty fund. He was a wonderful family with friends in both low and very high places, including the king. His reputation is mainly due to the correctness of the principle he pursued and the honesty he has expressed them. He seems to know his role in English life and know what his meaning is in human history.
Because of his reputation, his consent to divorce was necessary for the king. It was as if Henry was tortured by principle and unshakable devotion to value. His evil was revealed by the value of More. The King believed that his words were laws, but he also believed that not only did he respect the laws of the country but also part of himself would not allow the king to rule. This is a sin of Henry, as was miserably universal at that time, the wage of rebellion was a tower with a dirty scaffold of blood.
There is a big similarity between Thomas More and Sophocles. Antigone. Both characters are symbols of rebellion against tyrant. Henry V 111 and Cleon were embodied with absolute power and did not object to objection. We are repulsed and even disliked by their dark design. If there is something, we encourage them to walk beyond just rocks of justice, and defeat themselves until they disappear.
The eloquence of more people and Antigon reveals their rulers "of evil. The threat of death will not shake them from their principal and will not obey God's law more than a human's adaptive law. Neither of them was a warrior, but the fight they chose to fight was to resist self and their conscience failure. It is this sublime feature of both characters that we are proud of our kindness.
From the beginning of the play, readers can almost sniff the terrible fate awaiting More. But we are not traveling on his fate but accompanying with awe in not sorrow. We never ask you: Why does he throw away his life? We are inspired by his toughness and amazed by his wisdom. There are also weak and evil people such as Rich, Cranmer and Norfolk in theater. But all its roles are there to boost more things.
After More is convicted of treason, Cromwell asks if he wants to say something. & # 39; For what purpose & # 39; answer, others.
It is not my behavior that you hunted me, it is my mind 's thinking. It's a long way to open. The first person abandons his mind, and before then he will not have a heart. God helps people whose nation goes on your way. & # 39;
"All season for man" is a unique work of literature and scholarship with grand story and character.
