Shakespeare and Elizabeth

Queen Elizabeth was a large admirer of
Shakespeare's work. Shakespeare found
inspiration in her strong belief in being a single
women. Even though the queen did fall in love,
she ignored her emotions and hid them away.

protect her self from stereotypical attitudes.

related to the queen as the strong character
Beatrice has similarities to the Queen as they
both stand by feminist beliefs.
