Elizabeth was twenty years old when she succeeded queen Mary, the Roman Catholic who reigned from 1553 to 1558. This new queen, Anne Boleyn’s daughter had a big responsibility in her shoulders. This is because England was miserable and people were hopeless.

This protestant girl was a very special woman. She had a strong personality but extremely vain as the movie Elizabeth showed. On the other hand this movie was divide in two main aspects. The first one was her personal believes and the second was focused on her political troubles.

Is true that Elizabeth was a strong woman but she suffered in silence the absence of a man in her life. She really wanted to know the real love and feel the pasion with it. This aspect is reflected in the story of her closer subdit and the pirate. However this affair was impossible. Also inside the movie the people call her the virgin queen. The last analogy between Elizabeth carrying a baby that wasn’t her own baby, shows her deep feeling of have something of her. That’s why she said that she only was the mother of England and she will protect them. Because she was alone.

Secondly, the main political issue was the conspiration of Mary Stuart. Elizabeth’s servants prove complicity in this plot. For that reason They killed her. But the movie showed that Elizabeth didn’t want to do it. The following trouble was the war between Spain Armada and England. This war was because the Catholic Empire wanted to bring Englang back into the Catholic religion. But, the winner of this conflic was England.

The movie was really good. It showed the real face of an important woman. Also is very connected with the text that we read about her in classes.

We are all human at least.
sometimes we think that those people are o were an icon, and we made an image about their lifes, but they have the same problems as everybody!

She is very admired because of her beliefs, eventhough nobody could agree with her desitions...
