Utopia-3

Scenes 4 and 5 When More arrives at his house in the early morning after the night-time discussion with Wolsey, his daughter's suitor, Will Roper, is there. He asks for her hand in marriage. Thomas refuses to grant it, since Will is a Protestant. They have a brief but fiery theological argument. Before going to bed, he chats with his daughter, Margaret, and his wife, Alice. Meanwhile, Cardinal Wolsey is dying. The Duke of Norfolk pays him a visit, and Wolsey is regretful that he's served the king (who's charged him with treason) better than he has served God. This is a famous historical quotation. 5 Norfolk is proclaiming Thomas More the king's new Chancellor and placing a chain of office around his neck.
