God, the playwright says, is concerned that man should learn wisdom, and has marked out the path; and it is a path of suffering. Men are in one sense free to learn or not to learn; but the painful condition of learning is inexorable. The nature of God, in other words, comprises two elements or principles, one harsh, the other gentle.
