CHAPUYS He represents the interests of Spain and although he is a politician (ambassador) his ultimate goal is the protection of the Catholic church, He functions in the play as a foil to Cromwell in terms of his objectives but he is similar to Cromwell in terms of his need to have More on side and his use of spies and intrigue RICH rome Crendainp [lahore were = ses Lendsice te adionce 1 Sociky buat Pe Se Allows Gdibhenes ocbae MORE NORFOLK Prepecnk nats | alee only sod Yau, wot Hate nor “chore ane WOLSEY Hcarckinet and chenceller, posihon for church + stede ‘conflict of walertst! ~ ‘Seppo fe seme chu + rink at col ae Saw rs coated of tileest ROPER [gs owpord tite L fast oto Mares atability of princagll ~ weber Rr pepellions 5 ‘COMMON MAN Tes wit Pale Wk een afb eck Vin A Wey survived SE vane -b amelee vty [omen engl pert pechine news [fawn sick oe Mone ALICE [emia Moe ts pretect Fe WaRGARED PEs un wee qui fin 2 - - om , ag er bee 0 fol ot ahYO = uv 2) List the Common Man’s roles and what they tell us about his philosophy of life and circumstances.
