The reign of Elizabeth I is thought as a Golden Age. One of the contributions of Elizabeth’s reign was the literature because of the famous writers that we can find at those times, like Shakespeare for example. And explorers like Drake and Raleigh sought to expand England's territory overseas.
Elizabeth was well known because of her virginity, that’s why she got the name of “virgin queen”, and the fact that she never got married. She considered herself as the mother of England. So, she didn’t need a man to reign England. Elizabeth thought that to marry a man was to marry a country.
Another important thing from my point of view was religion. Elizabeth was a protestant queen, because she received protestant education. She was not a fan of Catholics. But anyway we could see the commitment that she had with her people because she was very stick to her believes. The most important thing was her people and she demonstrated that through her acts.

Dear Fernanda,
ReplyDeleteGood starting! You presented you main thesis which is developed through your post.
You mentioned the Golden age because of the intellectual time that burst in that time, especially Literature. Besides this you also wrote the importance of explorers who were hired by England.
You gave details that supported your idea of why Elizabeth was called “The Virgin Queen”, this helps the reader to understand easily your ideas.
The last point you mentioned was religion. Do you think that the war between England and Spain was only a matter of religion?
You developed your ideas in a clear and well structured way. Nice work!
Kind regards,
Oscar Luna O.
