Answer 2

Utopia by Thomas More is a work of the period of the English Renaissance and one of the critical works that served as a predecessor of the Reformation. In this work, More tells of an imaginary island where people live like equals according to perfectly obeyed rules. There is a governing elite which decides on the policy. There is no private property and everyone works to support the group. What is more important, in this book, the author emphasizes that people coexist peacefully, so there is no need for the Church to tell them what to do. This is a very interesting part of the work because it is open to interpretation - whether the author meant that there was no need for the Church, or he thought that the Church and people could coexist peacefully. In his ideas, More was very much influenced by Erasmus Roterdamus, who was a friend of his. Lastly, the very name of the work is loaded with symbolism. "Utopia" as a word coming from Greek is made out of two words - one is "topos", which means place and the other is the prefix "u". This prefix can have two possible origins - it either comes from the Greek prefix "eu" signifying something good or pleasant or from "ou", which signifies something inextant. Thus, to recapitulate, "Utopia" can mean either a "good place" or an "unexisting place." This omission of the first letter More did on purpose and in present times, when we talk of utopias, we mean both things - something good, which is however altogether unrealistic.

Answer 3

Sir Thomas More wrote " Utopia" in the reign of King Henry the 8th of England. It is about how perfect the world could be when men treated everyone as they would like to be treated. Sir Thomas was considered to be one the most vocal of the " Humanists" in England at the time.

Sir Thomas, being the chief advisor to the King after the downfall of Cardinal Wolsey, Sir Thomas quite literally lost his head when he, as a Roman Catholic Cleric, refused to sign an oath that the King forced upon his people to acknowledge that only the KING was the head of the new " Church of England", and required all British subjects to renounce any claim of the Catholic Church and the Pope to make Church doctrine in England. It also did not help that Anne Boleyn was the new Queen of England at that time. Sir Thomas believed that King Henry's marriage to Catherine of Aragon was legal and valid. Queen Anne did everything in her power to get the King to " punish" Sir Thomas, meaning that he should have his head removed. Since the Queen had not yet lost the Kings favor, she got her wish.

So alas Sir Thomas' " Utopia", which reportedly was King Henry's favorite book, did nothing to assuage the sheer hatefulness in Henry's nature.
