Great next part

5 stelle

As great as part one. I pity Anne Boleyn and all the other women who are not more than mere possessions of their men. I wonder how we missed detecting all that misogony in our history.

As for Cromwell, he plans his revenges and gets them all, yet he never understands that the reason for all that revenge is the king, not the persons carrying out the kings wishes.

And so Cromwell is also carrying out whatever the king wishes, not ever thinking for a second whether morals, law, ethics are damaged when he does what he dors for the king. And one day, Cromwell will be sorted out and executed like all his victims. The only one never blamed is Henry VIII, yet every deed originates with him. And he will not be executed.
