Correct Answer: A. a soliloquy

Explanation

It is quite evident in the drama that the King's heartiest wishes are ones that More cannot endorse. Mare's stand is that what the King wants to have are against his moral and religious principles. On the King's part, he has married a queen who is unable to bear a son and so must be divorced. Meanwhile he has found a younger woman he wishes to marry.

The King, to make his self conviction strong, reasons that the setting aside of a church provision to make his marrying his late brother's wife possible is also unlawful. He therefore wants to set matters right by having that marriage annulled. The King also considers the Pope as a mere archbishop who must not lord it over other people from his church in Rome. England can have its own church and its Archbishop.

To succeed in implementing his desires, the King must have More's support as his Chancellor and friend. More will not co-operate. His reasons are ones based on principle and religion.

More strongly believes that it is wrong to give public approval for the divorce of Queen Catherine and the marriage of the King to Anne Boleyn. The Pope had been persuaded to set aside a biblical injunction on marriage between King Henry VIII and his brother's widow. Asking the Pope to reverse that is not morally right as far as More is concerned. He also strongly opposes the King's attacks on the abbeys and his policy of reformation.

The King's disregard for the Pope shocks More. He thinks that breaking away from Rome is sacrilegious. He strongly believes that the Pope is God's representative and must not be rebuffed. Therefore, he refuses to swear the Oath in support of the king's desire and does not give reasons. He opposes the Act of Parliament that approves the legitimacy of the King's marriage with Anne Boleyn.

At this point, More and King Henry VIII are on a collision course. In the end, the King has his way without More's support. More resigns as Chancellor but he loses his life. If he will not agree with the King, More must die. He dies in the belief that he has lived and stood by his conscience and that he has been true to his moral and religious principles.

Explanation

One of the primary conflicts of the play pits traditional Yoruba customs against a western conception of progress and modernity, as represented by the conflict between Baroka and Lakunle for Sidi's hand in marriage. Lakunle represents the modern Nigerian man. He wears western clothing, has been educated in a presumably British school, and wants to turn his village into a modern paradise like the city of Lagos. Lakunle doesn't just admire and idolize western society; he actively and loudly despises the traditional customs of his village and the people who support them. This is best illustrated by Lakunle's refusal to pay Sidi's bride price. For much of the play, other characters describe Baroka as being directly opposed to modernity and extremely concerned with preserving his village's traditional way of life. Lakunle, in particular, finds Baroka's lifestyle abhorrent. He describes how Baroka paid off a surveyor to not route train tracks through the outskirts of Ilujinle, thereby robbing the village of a link to the modern world that would modernize the village. However, when Baroka himself speaks, it becomes apparent that he doesn't actually hate modernity or progress. While he obviously delights in the joys and customs of village life, when it comes to modernity he simply hates having it forced upon him. He sees more value in bringing modern customs to the village on his own terms. For example, he argues that creating a postal system for the village will begin to bring it into the modern world without entirely upending the village's way of life. The competition between Baroka and Lakunle for Sidi's hand in marriage brings the conflict between tradition and modernity to life. Baroka wishes to add Sidi to his harem of wives, while Lakunle dreams of having one wife who, in theory at least, is his equal. Both men promise Sidi a different version of power and fulfillment. When Baroka dies, Sidi will become the head wife of the new Bale, a position that would make her one of the most powerful women in the village. Lakunle, on the other hand, offers Sidi the possibility of an equal partnership in which she's not required to serve her husband as is traditional. The presence of Lakunle represents the British Colonial Government forcing their culture on Nigeria's traditional belief system which downgrades the personality of Africa as primitive and barabaric. Lakunle, in his show of modern romance kisses Sidi and she describes that as unclean and he never denies that yet calls Sidi's dressing and mannerism as barbaric.
