Elizabeth, the virgin Queen of England.

A few weeks ago, Dr Edwin had asked us to watch a movie called Elizabeth, The Golden Age. It was quite interesting because I finally see how a Queen of Victorian age rules. Furthermore, I also could see how the society at that period of time. The term of ‘Virgin’ is because Queen Elizabeth remain unmarried until to her death. One of her move of becoming a Queen is that she supported the upbringing of protestant church in England. Now it is known as the church of England. Her charisma as a ruler in a country had made me to admire her. The war she faught with Spain was one of her major accomplishment. This shows how woman could also lead a country. Not any woman, a single and ‘virgin’. She had leaded her country for so many years until she had died. During her time, the emergence of literature shows that she was a clever Queen who accepts changes. Shakespeare, is one of the famous name that we still admire!
