Question

What message does the bishops candlestick convey

Answer 1

The various messages which the play The Bishop's candlesticks conveys to the readers are:

Empathy is one of the very important features which a man should possess. Nobody ever questions or listens to the criminal's point of view on how or why he indulged into bad or illegal practices. Thus, every person should be given a second chance just like the bishop gave the criminal a chance to improve his life. If the situation of every strayed person is understood, the world would witness a very picture of brotherhood.

The power of love, kindness, benevolence to transform a person is very well exemplified in this play.

Hate the sin not the sinner. One should always hate the cause and not the person who committed the crime because no person is evil from the root. The sin or the crime needs to be eliminated rather than feeling hatred for the sinner.
Optimism is the key to better relationships and thus, a well developed society.
