* DeathGlare: When a frustrated Norfolk begs More to take the Oath of Supremacy for the sake of friendship, he blurts out "I'm not a scholar, I don't know whether the marriage [between Henry and Anne] was lawful or not!" which results in a brief but intense one of these from Cromwell.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The normally jovial and pleasant Henry explodes in anger when More refuses to change his opinion on the royal divorce, colouring all their further interactions with a vaguely threatening atmosphere.

So Henry decided to TakeAThirdOption: leave the Catholic Church and found a brand-new one, the Church of England, with himself as its head. More ''hated'' this idea and refused to support it; though he'd made a bit of a stink about corruption and abuse of power in the Church, his devout Catholicism forbade him from supporting an outright schism. But pretty much everyone else who was anyone in the government did support the king. More, rather than kick up a protest, decided to resign his post and keep his mouth tightly shut, but the fact that he would not publicly endorse the idea nonetheless made it pretty obvious to everybody that he was against it.

* NeutralityBacklash: Much of More's tragedy revolves around this. He does not likes the idea of creating the Church of England, Henry will probably behead him if he is a nay-sayer, so he just steps out of the way and keeps mum… and everybody on Henry's side decides that More, living or dead, needs to be removed as an obstacle all the same.
