(The soliloquy is from the end of Act III.)

But Shakespeare's Wolsey seems less powerful and less obstinate than the one portrayed in Wolf Hall. But it has been a few years since I read it, so maybe I remember wrongly. I will read The Mirror and the Light but am not re-reading in preparation. Hope that's not a mistake!Ruthiellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871834571645928819noreply@blogger.com
