“There are a number of decapitations in this story.”
With Anne Boleyn, it is different. His heart is in his mouth. To the last moment, it could go wrong. If the king changes his mind, that could mean his own death. Even when the queen’s head is off, it is so quick that he and the rest of the spectators can hardly recognize what has occurred. So I thought we as writer and reader must be there—we must follow her every breath, until it is cut off.
There are a number of decapitations in this story. From the craft point of view, I thought that one—and one only—could be done in this filmic style. I don’t feel that, because of the indirection, More’s end is under-realized.
Anne Boleyn’s execution is singular, because of the imported swordsman—his expenses are documented, and his manner of carrying out his duties was novel, and so noted. But often, the record won’t do much for you. Sixteenth century history is usually written to reflect the way the writer thinks events should have happened, rather than the way they did—and a public death is a vehicle for moral teaching about sin, repentance, redemption.
