Since the dominant theme of the play is that of “The King’s Great Matter” (his divorce of Katherine and marriage to Anne) it would be difficult for a viewer or reader not to think of Thomas More as the play unfolds, so much was he involved in this event. But Sir Thomas More—which also had Shakespeare among its authors—was not approved by the Master of the Revels, and the playwrights no doubt wished to avoid a similar rejection. A solution for them was to suggest More in the subtext, particularly since his cult was by then well established. This article studies the relationship of the absent More to several of the characters present on stage.

Depuis que le nom de Shakespeare est associé à Sir Thomas More, les controverses ont été aussi nombreuses que passionnées. C’est ici l’occasion de faire le point sur les différentes opinions et aussi de voir que la piéce a contribué à bâtir un mythe. Thomas More considéré dans son aspect public et privé s’est métamorphosé en héros de tragédie. Ce statut l’inscrit naturellement dans la lignée des personnages historiques tels qu’ils apparaissent et évoluent dans les tragédies de Shakespeare. Il ne faut donc pas s’etonner que la piece trouve aujourd’hui la place qui aurait toujours dû être la sienne: être représentée sur une scéne de théâtre et publiée avec les autres drames de Shakespeare.
