The first thing I thought when I saw the movie was "she really is a brave woman". I think Elizabeth’s was really concerned about her people. For that reason her reigns was considered one of the best.
Other important fact is that she was a Protestant Queen and in the movie we could see the commitment that she had with her people. One scene that clearly shows us that is when she is talking with the soldiers, before going to the battle, over her horse in the battlefield.
I think this was the reason of the fight between England and Spain. The last one did not accept England religion ideas.
One contribution from her reign was the bloom of the literature and the support she gave to explorers like Raleigh because during that time England started expanding it’s influenced in the world.
She was called the “virgin queen” because she never got married. She considers herself the mother and wife of the whole country. So the man who would marry her it would be married with England too. So she believed she did not need a man at her side, she was stronger enough to do it alone.
that is all for today.

Dear Ana,
ReplyDeleteIt is very appealing that you express what your feelings and thoughts were when you first saw the movie. That helps the reader to see your line of thought.
Who you think that it is more important; the person who reigns or his/her ideals?
You also pointed out one big issue in this Film; Elizabeth was a protestant Queen. So, do you think that the war against Spain was only a religious matter?
When you mention the fact that Elizabeth, during her reign, she started financing some explorers, you are mentioning one important fact in the British History because during that period England start building what we know today as “The British Empire”.
One last point you stated was the fact that Elizabeth was stronger enough to reign by herself without no men’s help. In this way you are highlighting the power that women by themselves have since many years ago, even when they were not mentioned in some History books.
Interesting ideas and good development of you writing!
Keep thinking and writing well!
Regards,
Oscar Luna O.
