A Man For All Seasons Robert Bolt

Title In 1520 a contemporary of More wrote a school textbook of Latin prose composition, in which one of the sample sentences said that Thomas More – then the most popular man in London – was “vir omnium horarum,” literally meaning “a man of all hours.” This probably referred merely to his ability to adapt his behaviour to the occasion. Consider the dangers and blessings each of the four seasons holds.

St. Thomas More – Biography Feastday: June 22 * Patron of Lawyers * Died: 1535 He was born at London in After a thorough grounding in religion and the classics, he entered Oxford to study law. Upon leaving the university he embarked on a legal career which took him to Parliament. In 1505, he married Jane Colt who bore him four children, and when she died at a young age, he married a widow, Alice Middleton, to be a mother for his young children. A wit and a reformer, this learned man numbered Bishops and scholars among his friends, and by 1516 wrote his world-famous book "Utopia". He attracted the attention of Henry VIII who appointed him to a succession of high posts and missions, and finally made him Lord Chancellor in However, he resigned in 1532, at the height of his career and reputation, when Henry persisted in holding his own opinions regarding marriage and the supremacy of the Pope.

Biography – cont’d The rest of his life was spent in writing mostly in defense of the Church. In 1534, with his close friend, St. John Fisher, he refused to render allegiance to the King as the Head of the Church of England and was confined to the Tower. Fifteen months later, and nine days after St. John Fisher's execution, he was tried and convicted of treason. He told the court that he could not go against his conscience and wished his judges that "we may yet hereafter in heaven merrily all meet together to everlasting salvation." And on the scaffold, he told the crowd of spectators that he was dying as "the King's good servant-but God's first." He was beheaded on July 6, His feast day is June 22nd. onlinecatholicsaints.org

Aspects of the Play Characters: The Common Man assumes many roles and can stand outside of the plot and setting Plot: Not physical action, but self-awareness Theme: Conscience, Selfhood Structure: 1) Exposition (introduction to characters setting, period), 2) Rising Action (external and internal conflicts), 3) Climax (highest point of action for hero), 4) Denouement (resolution)

Aspects of the Play – cont’d Dialogue/Speech: Reveal character and plot. Pay attention to wit. Subtext: Underlying message Dramatic Irony: Characters knowing more than the other characters (the play is historical so we know what will happen) Imagery: Water, Gilded Cup Lighting, sound effects, scenery: focus on character, reveal period

St. Thomas More - Quotes "Often, actually very often, God allows his greatest servants to make the most humiliating mistakes." "I die the king's good servant, and God's first." On the scaffold, July 6, 1535 "You must not abandon the ship in a storm because you cannot control the winds... What you cannot turn to good, you must at least make as little bad as you can." From his Utopia, 1516 “Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities - that's training or instruction - but is rather making visible what is hidden as a seed.”
