Wolf Hall
Posted: Sun May 03, 2015 8:40 pm
Here is the delightful concluding paragraph of the column:
"So with the different versions of More and Cromwell. Let them live side by side. Wolf Hall is utterly compelling, but I nonetheless refuse to renounce A Man for All Seasons. I’ll live with both Mores, both Cromwells. After all, for centuries we’ve accepted that light is both wave and particle. If physics can live with maddening truths, why can’t literature and history?"

I've been enjoying Wolf Hall and look forward to tonight's episode. I also love the movie A Man For All Seasons. Thus, when I viewed the negative portrayal of Thomas More in Wolf Hall, I even considered not watching the program. Fortunately, I decided to complete watching.
There are two types of minds: The Flexible Mind and The Dogmatic Mind.
Krauthammer's essay illustrates the former; I'm cursed with the latter.
Don't blame me. What could you expect from the education of a cradle Catholic, Jesuit high school, and law school!
