I think "A Man for All Seasons" refers firstly to Sir Thomas More's integrity and character; that a person of this high caliber is truly what it means to be a man and no matter the circumstance or time, he will rise to the challenge of being the man God has created him to be. He was not perfect, but his desire was to obey God and His commandments, and his faith gave him the strength to remain steadfast in the face of death. As Paul the Apostle said, "What can mere man do to me? They may kill my body, but they will not kill my spirit." Paul knew he would be "alive in Christ" and Christ was alive in him, and said he would be happy when death would come, for then he would see Christ. Sir Thomas More said something akin to that to the executioner right before he was beheaded; assuring him that he was doing him a favor, for he (More) would be soon seeing his Savior, Jesus Christ. Sir Thomas More was undoubtedly, a man for all seasons, for the world needs many more of courageous, righteous and devout people such as him. Secondly,within the movie, we see Sir Thomas More's view out of the window in the Tower of London. We see what he sees, and the seasons come and go; the children play in the summer; it is barren in the winter and lovers meet and talk together in spring. The brief vinette plays into the title, but the first and primary meaning is what makes this movie so impactful and significant. Laura Viveiros

Roper: "I'd cut down every law in England to do that." More: "Oh, and when the last law was down, and the devil turned on you, where would you hide, Roper, all the laws being flat? This country is planted thick with laws from coast to coast, man's laws not God's, and if you cut them down -- and you're just the man to do it -- do you really think that you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? "Yes, I'd give the devil the benefit of the law, for my own safety's sake." also on pg 83-84 there are quotes about More seen as a hero. - daz.
