Thomas More, first person view
2. More and Giles strike up a conversation with someone. Who is this? What does he do? Why are they interested in him?
Giles introduces More to Raphael Hythloday. More thought that Hythloday was a seaman but he is actually a traveler.
3. More and Giles believe Hythloday would make a great advisor to a king. Does Hythloday agree with this? Why or why not?
No Hythloday doesnt believe so he doesn 't think that he is desired to be an advisor to a King and says it would be similar to slavery. He thinks that kings just care about money, territory and power.
4. Hythloday’s concern about kings and advisors points out a problem with European society. What is this problem?
The King and advisors care more for greed rather than serving the king 's people.
5. The author Sir Thomas More has created the fictional character Sir Thomas More within the first narrative frame. Do you think it is wise to see both the real person and the character as one? Why or why not?
I don 't really think it would make much sense to see the author and main character as the same Thomas More. Hythloday makes some valid points with problems of the real Thomas More as a advisor serving the real king. I think it 's better to see the real person and the character of Thomas More as two different people.
6. According to Hythloday, what are some other problems with European society?
Theft, that also comes with a system that produces theives. Kings that expand their territory, rather than just guarding the territory they have. Hythloday doesn 't think that the European society uses Christian beliefs, where it had originally been brought up as.
