Eliot's play Murder in the Cathedral that have a significant meaning in context which can be either religious or serious. By suggesting a parallel between the parents of crime and detection on the one hand, and sin and expiation on the other, Eliot uses the same symbolic method that Edmund Wilson admires in Dickens. The two patterns suggest two analogous levels of meaning meant for two different levels of perception. In this way Eliot imparts a serious significance to ordinary elements of a detective thriller and also manages to say the serious things through the most popular form.
