Product Description
A dramatization in verse of the murder of Thomas Becket at Canterbury. “The theatre as well as the church is enriched by this poetic play of grave beauty and momentous decision” (New York Times). “Within its limits the play is a masterpiece.... Mr. Eliot has written no better poem than this and none which seems simpler” (Mark Van Doren, The Nation).

4-0 out of 5 stars Poetic dramatization of Beckett's Martyrdom
This short play is wonderfully absorbing. Written for the Canterbury festival T.S Eliot did a superb job of creating dramatic tension from a familiar historical event. Written in 2 acts with an interlude the play can be enjoyed in a single sitting and is filled with memorable language. Not much else to say.

3-0 out of 5 stars Maybe not T.S, Eliot at his best?
A more famous version and maybe better is Becket.
A verse play that fails by me...
I think what I miss by comparison is Henry II in this play.
The point in terms of history is that the power of the church
in English history will decline from here.
Henry II may have been in the wrong, but he never really
gave the command for his friend's death as history seems to have it("Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?").
The Medieval Church was at times as powerful as kings.
An Archbishop was second only to the Pope in that power
over the churches: he was literally a prince of God on earth.
So the crime of killing such an one was not a light one.
Was Thomas Becket a martyr?

4-0 out of 5 stars Thought Provoking
The classic play on the death of Beckett.Eliot does an exceptional job of building up the hero - only to leave you really wondering at the end.It is a great lesson that all actions have a justification in the eyes of the actor - and little is black and white.

5-0 out of 5 stars Murder in the Cathedral
In addition to writing poetry, Eliot wrote several plays.I've never seen one o the produced on stage, and I understand they're probably better read than seen.I think Murder in the Cathedral, which recounts the murder of Thomas a Becket in Canterbury Cathedral, is his finest drama.
Basically, the story deals with Thomas' spiritual transformation from a courtier to the king, who once enjoyed all the dividends of earthly success, to a churchman willing to die for the Faith.Having returned from exile in 1170 determined to obey the Pope rather than the King, Thomas struggles first with four tempters who seek to dissuade him.Pleasure and temporal power he easily resists.He's discerned what Eliot seeks to clarify in this play:only God truly shapes history, only God has rightful power.
But an unexpected fourth tempter challenged Thomas more deeply.He urges Thomas to become a martyr, to become a celebrated saint, and thus to control human events from the tomb.To this graver temptation, however, Thomas says no:

"Now is my way clear, now is the meaning plain:
Temptation shall not come in this kind again.
The last temptation is the greatest treason:
To do the right deed for the wrong reason.
. . . . . . . . . .
Servant of God has chance of greater sin
And sorrow, than the man who serves a king.
For those who serve the greater cause may make the cause serve them,
Still doing right:and striving with political men
May make that cause political, not by what they do
But by what they are."

With that discernment (forever needed by those of us who so easily misread our motives because our actions seem good), the archbishop resolves to follow God's way, the way of self-surrender and death.That death comes when three knights arrive, determined to implement the expressed desire of their king, and kill Thomas in the cathedral.Their dialogue illustrates the radical difference between the ways of the Church and those of the world.Thus, when his subordinate priests seek to lock the church doors and save his life, Thomas says:"Unbar the door! / You think me reckless, desperate and mad./ You argue by results, as this world does, / To settle if an act be good or bad."But the way of the Church is the way of Christ, the way of suffering and death.So he declares:

"I am here.
No traitor to the King.I am a priest,
A Christian, saved by the blood of Christ,
Ready to suffer with my blood.
This is the sign of the Church always,
The sign of blood.Blood for blood.
His blood given to buy my life,
My blood given to pay for His death,
My death for His death."

Death comes, the death of a martyr and saint.It's the stuff of which the Church is made . . . the blood of martyrs is the seed of the Church.Murder in the Cathedral reminds us of that enduring truth.

4-0 out of 5 stars Best Read Aloud
"Many persons have the wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose." ~Helen Keller

I first heard of Archbishop Thomas Becket of Canterbury last month while reading The Pillars of the Earth. I decided to do a little research on him and noticed that there was a book about him on my classic to-read list. Perfect, I thought now I can learn more about the martydom of Becket and mark off one of the classic plays on my list at the same time.

The book is a play and a poem. At first, I found it difficult to get into. I found it easier to focus by reading aloud and imagining that I was watching it acted out in a play. It was pretty easy to read and understand once you got into it, although I would hate to try reading this without any prior knowledge of Becket's life. The only sections that I found annoying were the parts voiced by the chorus. They seemed to be repetitious and rambled on; however, I could still appreciate the poetic prose.

Here are a couple parts that I enjoyed:

- I really liked when the priests tried to convince Becket to run away and hide and he responded, "Peace! Be quiet! Remember where you are, and what is happening; no life here is sought for but mine, and I am not in danger: only near to death."
- I also liked the end when the knights turn to the crowd representing England after murdering Becket. They each give a reason for murdering him. I appreciate how the book is about the martyrdom of Becket, yet Eliot wanted people to understand both sides of the story. I didn't previously feel like I understood completely why King Henry II wanted him dead but these supplications by the knights helped make sense of things.

This book is not for everyone (not everyone enjoys poetry); however, it is short and informative and is worth reading. T.S. Eliot wrote the entire play in verse and it needs to be read aloud to be fully appreciated. I am glad the book was short because I am not sure how much poetry I can handle at once (and I don't know if I want to find out); however, I would like to see the play performed some day. ...
