There can be no doubt that Williams` plays are in fact religious dramas where the main character acts as an allegory of Christ and experiences a dreadful "Crucifixion". The author talks about his life through his heroes. His plays are based to the archetype of Jesus. Pain in earth, triumph in afterlife. In Christian ceremonial worship, the flock consumes the body of Christ in the context of Holy Eucharist after a ritual partition. The example of Christ, of an outcast who is persecuted by the ruling class, seems to give a different dimension to the situation.
The pain uplifts, it becomes an imitation of the Eucharist sacrifice, of the melismos of the Holy Child offering itself to save the souls of men. Hence Williams proved to be larger than life; his work will survive in time, not just as his legacy, but as his Gospel where he narrates his holy life.
