a beloved woman

The first monarch I remember from reading history when I was a child was Elizabeth I.
At that time, I was attracted by her luxurious and complicated clothes, and then I remembered that she, the virgin queen, was never married, and she reigned for more than 40 years, leading England to a golden age at that time.
At that time, it was impossible to imagine the perilous environment Elizabeth was in, and it was impossible to understand the sorrow of a monarch. I cried several times while watching this movie, watching her in love but unable, watching her despair and helplessness, watching her abandoning a woman's weakness and men fighting wits and courage on the political battlefield... always in my heart Somewhat sad. She dedicated her life to England, She is called the virgin queen, unmarried, she has no master, childless, she is the mother of her people. Her expression is simple, but always makes people feel sad.
In turbulent times, the queen who is fighting alone, without love, cannot have love; without weaknesses, there can be no weaknesses.
Her brilliant life has made a brilliant England, but the deep sadness will always appear in her lonely nights. I don't know if she still has a yearning for happiness after beheading the Earl of Essex, her lover who is 33 years younger than her; I don't know if she has truly loved someone...

    The life of the betrayed and cursed queen. In the second half, I felt that the queen was too pitiful. The queen's rage began when she caught the rape, and her cursed loneliness was fulfilled again. She couldn't give her heart away, and she had to be locked in iron armor for the rest of her life to protect herself and the country. 6.9
