I did it last year. I absolutely love the play.

What do you think of More's actions?

Do you think his martyrdom is justifiable?

I really admired More. I loved the character of Rich. Cromwell was evil personfied.

If your addition is the green one- make sure you read the intro.

I am studying A Man for All Seasons this year. Just had a SAC on it as to whether Thomas More could be considered heroic from the actions he makes.
More is a very interesting character, but we can't disregard the other characters.
For example, Rich, and his ambition to be a highly successful person, no matter the lengths. You could even call Rich a pragmatist.
And Cromwell, who ultimately was the one who had More executed, because after More retired from Lord Chancellor, Cromwell was still hungry for evidence that More didn't approve of Henry's divorce. Subsequently, Cromwell acquired enough evidence to have More convicted of treason.

So yes, the play is a very interesting read ;)
