Prompt
The life of Queen Elizabeth I is the focus of the 1998 movie Elizabeth, starring Cate Blanchett. The clip below (5:07 minutes) is from that movie and shows a young Queen Elizabeth preparing for and giving a speech to the clergy of England. Her goal is to unite the various churches into a single Church of England, and she anticipates much resistance.
Discuss the following:
How did priming help Queen Elizabeth during her speech?
How does she build complexity into the mental models of the clergy regarding the effects of the proposed bill?
Combining what you learned from Chapter 2, what cultural discourses does the Queen use? What familiar arguments suggest these discourses?
