This film is a fierce representation of the life that people had during that time. It showed us the importance of Elizabeth´s reign, which was full of new ideas and purposes to get to a better nation, free of being dominated by other and with more territory won.
However, this power had a lot of consequences, specially in Elizabeth´s life, who had to sacrifice part of her life in order to control her reign efficiently.
Another consequence was the posibility that this revolutionary Queen gave to her country to think freely, without caring if people decided to be Catholic or Protestant. That was the main issue which porvoked the conflict between Spain and England. This first country couldn´t accept that people think whatever they wanted, because they belived that by doing that, the peace in the nation would be broken.
The conflict between these two countries got worst when England started to acquiere much more territory, and therefore much more resources were gotten by them.
Finally, the reasons of why she was called the "Virgin Queen" were due to the fact she never got married, bacause she was believed to be able to reign without the presence of a man.
Besides, Quenn Elizabeth was thought to the nearest person to God, so she was not seen as a common woman.
Dear Leonor,
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that you stated at the beginning of the post that the film is a representation of something. Films are always representations of what their director wanted to show.
You also mention the fact that Elizabeth had to give up to her happiness in order to achieve her success. However, till what point women must leave aside their personal beliefs in order to be successful?
You also pointed out the relationship that England had with Spain and what the reasons were for their break which was also another important issue in the film.
Well organized ideas. The sequence of your writing was easy to follow!
Please try to pay attention to some spelling mistakes you have.
