A Man for All Seasons

"A Man for All Seasons" is a play by Robert Bolt that depicts the moral struggles of Sir Thomas More, a 16th-century English lawyer and chancellor. It explores his unwavering principles and integrity when facing pressure from King Henry VIII and his government to accept the king’s decision to break away from the Catholic Church. The story highlights themes of conscience, loyalty, and personal conviction, illustrating how More chooses to stand by his ethical beliefs even at great personal risk, ultimately sacrificing his life rather than compromise his principles.
