The Cardinal and Bosola

In preparation for lessons on Friday, you should compare the two main encounters (and the secondary ones) of Bosola and the Cardinal.

• What is the main difference between the tone of the encounters?
• Who holds the upper hand in each?
• Both are men who hold double lives. How do they wear this mantle?

Then, be prepared to respond to this prompt (with dot points as this will be our stater):

Referring the Act 5 Sc2, The Cardinal’s ennui is the ennui of everyone who runs out of steam living two lives or living by double standards? How far do you agree with this statement?
