The seven deadly sins include pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth. The paper presents, among others, an analysis of the painting by Hieronymus Bosch with that very title – The Seven Deadly Things and the Four Last Things, with reference to such works by Shakespeare as A Comedy of Errors, Richard III or Twelfth Night.
