More examines the moral and theological dimensions of suffering, highlighting Christian virtues such as hope, patience, and trust in divine providence. "Dialogue of Comfort Against Tribulation" is a literary work that demonstrates More’s wit, intelligence, and humanistic perspective on life’s hardships in addition to being a theological treatise.
