Question

In at least 100 words, describe in your own words what is meant by this statement taken from Act I, Scene 1.

Answer 1

The statement, "There is either obedience or the church will burn like hell is burning" is a loaded sentence but put in simple terms can be pretty understandable. When the first part of the text says, "there is either obedience or..." it suggests that with no obedience or structure within the church, the church will become weak and the people of the church will, as the test states, "will burn like hell is burning."

Answer 2

The excerpt below can be taken apart individually, the first part to take apart is the phrase "There is either obedience or" meaning that if you are not loyal to the church then something bad would happen. Which would lead to the second part, "the church will burn like hell is burning" meaning, if the loyalty to the church is not met, then you will burn like hell.
