Seven Deadly Sins



      One of the most memorable scenes occurs in the sixth volume of A Dance to the Music of Time. Nick Jenkins, Isobel, Hugh Moreland, Matilda, Anne Umfraville, Betty Templer, and Peter Templer decide to pose in tableaux and have Sir Magnus Donners photograph them. The chosen themes are the Seven Deadly Sins: Sloth, Pride, Gluttony, Envy, Anger, Avarice, and Lust.

      Our class decided to re-enact the tableaux of the Deadly Sins. I played Sir Magnus Donners, who functions as host and photographer, and who does not act out a sin. I - like Sir Magnus - remained behind the camera, my sins out of view. Below is our photo album:
