초록
In Murder in the Cathedral, Eliot showed the appearance of conflict between the laws of heaven and the laws of earth. Regarding the problem, the church has solved it with the law or the influence of the Holy Spirit, and the world has solved it with the constitution or the law. In the church, the priests are primarily responsible for that task, but in the world the Supreme Judge is responsible for it. The Archbishop Thomas stood at the intersection of the real world and the ideal world. At the time, Henry II tried to do it easily through the church for the efficiency of governance. In other words, they set up a scheme to include the law of the church in the law of the world, namely, the Constitutions of Clarendon. However, the Archbishop Thomas refused to do so and returned to France for seven years in exile before returning to martyrdom. In his conversation with the tempters, he realizes that his life and his will has connected to the hell, the core of the darkness, through ambition and pleasure, and he redefines the meaning of the martyrdom. He is freed from fear or horror, is complete, and is martyred by knights. In the end, Thomas’s blood can stop Henry II’s tyranny, lead to the reconciliation with the Pope, and bring true peace to both Canterbury/Earth and Heaven like Jesus’s.
Abstract
In Murder in the Cathedral, Eliot showed the appearance of conflict between the laws of heaven and the laws of earth. Regarding the problem, the church has solved it with the law or the influence of the Holy Spirit, and the world has solved it with the constitution or the law. In the church, the priests are primarily responsible for that task, but in the world the Supreme Judge is responsible for it. The Archbishop Thomas stood at the intersection of the real world and the ideal world. At the time, Henry II tried to do it easily through the church for the efficiency of governance. In other words, they set up a scheme to include the law of the church in the law of the world, namely, the Constitutions of Clarendon. However, the Archbishop Thomas refused to do so and returned to France for seven years in exile before returning to martyrdom. In his conversation with the tempters, he realizes that his life and his will has connected to the hell, the core of the darkness, through ambition and pleasure, and he redefines the meaning of the martyrdom. He is freed from fear or horror, is complete, and is martyred by knights. In the end, Thomas’s blood can stop Henry II’s tyranny, lead to the reconciliation with the Pope, and bring true peace to both Canterbury/Earth and Heaven like Jesus’s.
