While Cromwell sees Wolsey as a gentle and competent person, Wolsey doesn’t seem to be very popular with the people of London, which shows that there is always more than one angle to a person or situation. This idea is emphasized when Cromwell once again feels like they are all in a play, which suggests that there is no single, objective truth but just characters and situations that are open to interpretation. This time, Cromwell feels like they are in an allegory, which means that he can learn a lesson from what has transpired. This seems to hold true for him because, as a courtier, he never forgets that power can be quickly lost when one falls out of favor with the king.
