Elizabeth, The golden age.





Based on the movie and the classes that we have had, I can say that the importance of Elizabeth affects in different aspects, such as: cultural, political and economical.
In general, in terms of influences, the monarchy had lots of benefits since Walter Raleigh and Francis Drake started to expand. One important fact is that during her reign literature was spread to many other lands because of the expansion. Elizabeth realized that was extremely important to conquer other places to make them colonies.
In that way, the reign would be bigger and powerful.

Another important issue its that Elizabeth was known as "The Virgin Queen". This is because she never wanted to get married. The main reason was that she replied many times that she was married with her nation (her people). Moreover she had to overcome the prejudice of some people who said that she was not able to govern the country.

Related to religion, as we know Elizabeth was protestant. Despite of her thoughts she allowed her people to believe in whatever they wanted. She was noted by protecting all the people just because they were human beings, so they deserved all the respect. I believe that she was loved because of that.

Elizabeth I is known as one of the best queens that England could ever had.

  1. Dear Daniela,
    It is good that you have mentioned the purpose of the post you wrote.
    You gave historical facts that supported your ideas. When you mention the fact that during Elizabeth’s reign there was a huge development in Literature you are stating one of the most important elements of Elizabethan time.
    You also mention the importance of Elizabeth’s will for her success which is the main focus expressed in the film.
    I have a question for you; do you think that was only a matter of religion that led England to fight against Spain?
    You conclude your post with a statement that reinforces the structure of your writing.
    Please try to pay attention to some spelling mistakes.
    Good writing and ideas.
    Regards,
