    Polygamy in Things Fall Apart It is obvious that in reading Things Fall Apart that polygamy was alive and well in the village of Umuofia. Not only was it accepted it was expected. Men's wealth was judged by their huge barns [and their] number of wives and children. The more wives a man had, usually meant more children. If a man had several wives and many offspring, he of course had to provide for all of them, hence more land [was] needed for planting crops, and more barns for storing food. Men s...
  • People Thomas More
    374 words
    A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS In this play there are people who are against Thomas More. The people against him are the people who persecuted him. Cromwell was one of the leaders of the people who persecuted Thomas More. Cromwell said "When the king wants something done, Ido it". I think Cromwell said this because he did not want his head to be cut off so all he did was kiss up to the king. The author said "More is a man of an angels wit... and a time require th a man of marvelous mirth and pastimes; an...

    "The world's battlefields have been in the heart chiefly; more heroism has been displayed in the household and the closet, than on the most memorable battlefields in history". - Henry Ward Beecher Whether or not the statement by Henry Beecher is true, it is certainly well put when spoken in the context of martyr Sir Thomas More.

  • Thomas More
    476 words
    A 'Man for All Seasons' is about a man so subtle and saintly that an actor who takes on the role must be able to project an almost superhuman presence. As is evident, the story is based on the life of Sir Thomas More, man of God and chancellor to the court of Henry V. The year is 1530 and from what I know, actors in this movie typically wear transparent half-masks and double up on roles. More was the only member of Henry V's government who would not be seduced or corrupted by Henry's threats. Wh...
  • Thomas More As His Hero
    1,971 words
    The 16th century was a time of political upheaval, a time of conflict and corruption... and a time of heroes? All these elements are visibly present in Bolt's book, A Man for All Seasons. As I was reading this story I was thinking that it could probably apply to our day and age but that begged the question. Why did Robert Bolt decide to use a 16th century character rather than a present time period character and setting? I believe that Bolt chose this man and his era because there things that he...

The first of three steps is the suffering that Mo...

More's decision is consistant through out the entirety of the play as he remains intensely loyal to his conscience and is unable to abandon his religious beliefs, even if it ultimately means his own tragic demise. The entreaties of many are to no avail as More prov...
