Abstract
JEAN ANOUILH USES THE PHRASE "The Honor of God" as the sub-title of his play Becket. In the English translation of the play by Lucienne Hill, the word "honor" appears more than twenty times, spoken by a variety of characters in a variety of situations. It is as if Anouilh were determined to explore the meaning of the word by a sort of comprehensive dramatic demonstration of what is really essential to this abstraction which so many characters in the play use so glibly.
