For this assignment, view the film “Elizabeth” and review the primary source text “First Blast of the Trumpet” by John Knox and the relevant sections of Merry Wiesner-Hanks’ chapter “Gender and Power”.
In an essay, discuss how female power is depicted in the film. Keeping in mind that Elizabeth is a MODERN film, do any of the gendered depictions of power reflect Knox’s concerns in First Blast of a Trumpet? Do they reflect modern stereotypes or concerns of women in power?
