| Summary | "Thomas More: Een treurspel in verzen" by Henriette Roland Holst-Van der Schalk is a dramatic play written in the early 20th century. It delves into the life and moral dilemmas faced by Sir Thomas More, particularly focusing on his resistance to King Henry VIII's demand to recognize his marriage to Anne Boleyn. The narrative examines themes of ethics, faith, and the consequences of standing by one’s convictions. At the start of the play, we are introduced to Thomas More in his home, where he interacts with family members and friends. This opening scene establishes a warm familial atmosphere, highlighting More’s relationships with his wife, daughters, and a close friend, Simon Grynæus. As they converse, the political tensions surrounding More's past position as Chancellor begin to surface, particularly regarding the King's wish to annul his marriage. The opening sets the stage for the unfolding conflict between More's principles and the demands of power, foreshadowing the struggles he will face in remaining true to his beliefs amidst mounting pressure.
