A Comparison Of Queen Isabella I And Queen Elizabeth I

Queen Elizabeth I held the throne of England from the time of her sister Mary’s death in 1558 until her own death in 1603. As the second female ruler of England, she faced a patriarchal society ingrained with the notion that a woman’s (specifically a Queen’s) job was to serve her husband and produce heirs. As Queen, Elizabeth deserved the same respect afforded to her male predecessors, but social constrictions of the period forced her to face unjust oppression that would have been grounds for treason if faced by her father (or any other male monarch). Elizabeth faced a number of challenges as a female ruler, such as regularly being ignored by trusted advisors such as William Cecil (Lord Burghley), Robert Dudley (Earl of Leicester), Francis Walsingham, and Robert Devereux (Earl of Essex) of whom each was intent on his own agenda, and who believed they could bend Elizabeth to their wills. As a result of these challenges, Elizabeth had to fight for respect from enemies and friends alike.

In “The Necklace”, Mathilde Loisel is a woman who cannot tolerate her lower-class status, believing “herself born for every delicacy and luxury”(82).

She took her husband and the all the things he provided for her for granted. Mathidle was not satisfied with just a new dress, she had to have jewels to go with it. “’It annoys me not to have a single jewel, not a single stone, nothing to put on. I shall look like distress. I should almost rather not go at all.’” She also did not care how much money the dress and the jewelry would cost. To her, all that mattered was if she looked good enough to fit in with the wealthy. She was fortunate enough to be able to borrow the perfect necklace from her wealthy friend. “All of a sudden she discovered, in a black satin box, a superb necklace of diamonds; and her heart began to beat with an immoderate desire. Her hands trembled as she took it. She fastened it around her throat, outside her high-necked dress, and remained lost in ecstasy at the sight of

The necklace serves as a symbol for greed.

It ends up taking ten years to pay off the debt. The ten years were hard on Mathilda Loisel and her husband, and Maupassant told the reader that she “looked old now… with hair half combed, with skirts award, and reddened hands” (6). However, even after the long ten years of manual labor all because she lost the necklace, she “sat down near the window and though of that evening at the ball so long ago, when she has been so beautiful and so admired” (6). The necklace symbolizes that when greed controls emotions and decisions, it never leads to good results.

They are my reminder. They keep my history alive. The tradition began when my Great-grandparents came from Ireland and my Great-grandmother saved all of her money working as a seamstress to buy a small set of pearls for herself. She gifted them to my Nana when she was fifteen years old. My Nana always wore her pearls with pride and used them as a reminder that her life wasn’t always as good as it was. She always told us to humble ourselves and never belittle someone, especially based on what they did or did not have.

As she fights her way to the top, the economy, the country’s culture, science and technology, government, and communication will change all around her.

This demonstrates Elizabeth’s dedication to her nation, which she put before any possible courtier. She viewed her coronation ring as the equivalent to a wedding ring and felt more bound to her nation than to any man. This image of loyalty gave the impression that Elizabeth was England’s most devoted ruler regardless of gender. The Virgin Queen appeared to be married to her nation and had room for no one else in her life as she considered herself to be the daughter, bride and mother of England.
