What other
Would you expect? You are strangely
troublesome.—
-Gardiner
King Henry The Eighth Act V, scene ii, line 128
Gardiner is talking to Cranmer who’s about to be led away to the Tower of London, and we all know what that means. He’s pleading for mercy and this is Gardiner’s response. That is to say, Cranmer is pleading for his life and Gardiner is finding it all a bit annoying. How strange it is that someone being condemned would plead for their life. This Gardiner fellow seems like quite the understanding and caring guy, doesn’t he?
NOT!
I figured that this is one of those lines that would take me forever to find a picture for. So to save time, and since this is a Totally Random thing, I went in and just picked a Totally Random picture. I guess we can think of it as where Cranmer is picturing his next home to be after his short stay in the Tower (beneath a gravestone), and so that's why he's being so strangely troublesome. That kind of works, right?
