MURDER IN THE CATHEDRAL

Murder in the Cathedral by T. S. Eliot is a powerful and thought-provoking play that explores themes of faith, martyrdom, and the struggle between spiritual and temporal power. Set in the 12th century, the play dramatizes the murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral, delving into the internal conflict and moral dilemmas faced by Becket as he approaches his fate. With its poetic language and deep philosophical questions, Murder in the Cathedral remains one of Eliot's most profound works, offering timeless insights into the nature of sacrifice and religious conviction.
