The White Queen Elizabeth 1 Summary
In the author's note at the end of The White Queen, Page 409 “...Elizabeth first met Edward with a request for financial help and that she married him in secret…” (Page 409). Elizabeth does have a sweet and caring side to her, but she can be seen as evil. Yes, she did request for financial help from him, but why couldn’t she just stop there. Why did she have to go and marry him? It sucks that they had to get married in secret because it mind as well be known as not even getting married. Apart of me feels that Elizabeth said yes to marrying the King just so that she could have some fame/attention on her. I think she married him for all the wrong reasons. Yes there were times where they both said they loved each other, but did they really mean

    My last question is what the judgement was made about Queen Elizabeth not being married? When King Henry died Queen Elizabeth moved with her stepmother and her step mother got married to a guy named Thomas Seymour. Thomas Seymour was having an affair with Queen Elizabeth. There were a lot of rumours about why she never married. Some of these rumours were she was a male and the scandal with Thomas.

    Elizabeth Proctor Sacrifice In The Crucible

    Elizabeth still wants to believe she is living a perfect life. In Act III (page 113) Elizabeth states, “My husband is a good and righteous man. He is never drunk as some are, nor wastin' his time at the shovelboard, but always his work.” Abigail still loves John and wants Elizabeth out of the picture. This is shown when Elizabeth says, “She wants me dead, John, you know it!” (Act II page 60). She even sets up Elizabeth to be…

    Elizabeth I Dbq Analysis

    People who disagreed with Elizabeth were primarily worried about how she wouldn’t have the capacity to manage a nation like a man could, and were backed up by the bible. Admirers had a go at spreading their convictions by talking about how rousing and supportive she was to the nation of England and its kin to pick up the acknowledgment of being the ruler. Elizabeth realized that she was being oppressed, and as opposed to sitting back and putting up with it, she voiced her opinions and proved she could be a just and loyal queen. She suppressed her oppositions that didn’t support her as a result of her sex and made an assembled nation that was more grounded than when she entered her rule. She enabled women to have confidence and to not be treated like dirt and promoted equality by being a steadfast queen and demonstrating to the nation that she was pretty much as effective as any…

    Queen Elizabeth I: The Most Influential Ruler

    From the age of thirteen, Elizabeth knew she didn’t want to marry. She thought that if a princess is wed she would die or be cast off. She watched what happened to her mothers and didn’t want the same to happen to her. Elizabeth had no example of true love in her life. Her father never really loved his wives and to him marriage was only temporary. She didn’t want to rule the way her mothers did, she wanted to be independent. Elizabeth did fall in love a couple times, but she rejected every proposal she received. The House of Commons, the lower level of Parliament, wanted to find her a suitable husband, but she refused. She didn’t believe that she needed a husband to help her rule, she could do it alone. They wanted her to marry and start a family. Elizabeth said, “In the end, this shall be for me sufficient, that a marble stone shall declare that a Queen, having reigned such a time lived and died a virgin.” Elizabeth stayed true to her word a remained a virgin her whole life. That is why she is considered the Virgin…

    The White Princess Analysis

    I chose to do my audience analysis on Philippa Gregory’s books The White Princess. The book is a historical fiction book based on the lives of King Henry the 7th and Elizabeth of York. The primary audience for this book is for people who are interesting about the history and the people of the British monarchy. The reason that I believe that this is the primary audience for this book is because most people do not want to learn about Elizabeth of York unless they are interested in her and her life. Another reason that I think that this is the primary audience is because this book follows the history and issues that were going on during that time. People that would want to read this book are people that are interested about the royals back then and what happened in their lives and the issue and threats that they were facing at the time. For example, the book talks about how King Henry the 7th had issues with people pretending to be one Elizabeth’s brothers who were killed in the tower. A few young men came forward during that time and pretended that they were one of the brothers…

    Close Reading of Sense and Sensibility

    1. Although Elinor knew before that Edward and Lucy would probably be married, she was still very hurt by the news. This entire secrete marriage seemed somewhat odd to me, as a reader, because Jane Austen doesn’t foreshadow this event in the text. Robert Ferrars and Lucy Steele hardly seem to know each other. It seems to me that Jane Austen just placed this relationship into the plot instead of letting it naturally develop throughout the book.…

    A nurse can be a part of helping a patient’s cultural preservation in their practice. For example, some people in the Jamaican culture hold nine-day wakes for deceased persons. The wake is a time for respecting and honoring the departed soul. For nine nights, relatives and friends share food and sing hymns, thus saying goodbye to the departed one (). A nurse can advocate for a patient from Jamaican cultural by coordinating with the hospice facility a way for the wake to take place as the Jamaican culture sees fit.…
