Henry VIII's queens were often difficult to end well, Queen Catherine died in loneliness and resentment, and Queen Anne Boleyn was beheaded in trembling cowardice... But their deaths were different from ordinary people: one evaded the gaze of men after death; A male touch is forbidden after death.
So, if Manichaeism is totally bodyless, Catholicism is partially bodyless (the clergy has no body), and Puritans are as if not bodies, then how many bodies did the queens before and after the state religion movement have?
Certainly not two, they do not have immortal political bodies, but not one, their bodies are always given special political and religious significance. There may be 1.5, and the extra 0.5 shows its insufficient political power, but there may be only 0.5, and the meaning of the missing 0.5 originating from the flesh is always infinitely politicized.
But maybe only 1. The queen is dead, irretrievable, not resurrected, there is no immortal kingdom, there is no holy body in white, and the body is utterly perished.
Even 0! The queen never had her own body, and even death, the event that was supposed to prove the existence of the body, was used to prove the lack of it. The death of the queen was all related to the inability to give birth to an offspring, and the king admitted that the queen lacked a body and lacked a body to reproduce. After Catherine's death, the only possible mourner was the Pope's ambassador, a priest who was also denied a body, but he didn't make it, why? This is not only because of the king's obstruction, but also because of the obstruction of another body, but also because the queen has never had a body. Before and after Bo Lin's execution, the maids acted to isolate males from desecrating and polluting the body, not to protect the sanctity and purity of the body, but to strengthen the white myth of the emptiness of the body. does not exist. Did the death penalty really happen? Was the queen really separated? Perhaps the queen's body never existed, and only through the setting of taboos can the existence of the untouchable be shaped.
So why does a king need a queen? Why do you need a queen who can mate and have children? What kind of body is the queen's body like? Does the queen really have a body?
