One might guess the poem written by the Queen of England, while others might be intrigued by it. During her challenging reign as Queen, Queen Elizabeth faced many burdensome obstacles. In his poem, “The Doubt of Future Enemies,” he describes a significant one involving his sister, Mary of Scots. He expresses his condescending and disgusted attitude towards his tenacious sister using colorful language. The inspiration for this poem, Mary had been living under her sister's protection in England after being removed from the Scottish throne. Subsequently, the Catholic Scots wished to replace Elizabeth with Mary. Then, Sir Anthony Babington and other Catholics attempted to plot to place Mary on the English throne, but the plot was soon exposed by Elizabeth. Mary was later executed because she knew of the plot. To recount this series of events, Elizabeth uses figurative language, imagery, and symbolism to reveal her ultimate disappointment in Mary. The queen uses figurative language, which makes the reader think about the deeper meaning and artistic quality of the poem. He uses personification in line 4, “which should not be if reason ruled or wisdom weaved the web.” This shows that Elizabeth is trapped in an inescapable and twisted situation with no clear way out. The word wisdom evokes a sense of error. She wouldn't be stuck in this complex situation if people used correct judgment instead of trying to rebel against her. Elizabeth uses alliteration to interrogate her enemies. He is actually saying, “Why do naysayers use poor, reckless judgment and do the wrong things to solve their problem? Instead of doing so, they should use common sense and right solutions." By using alliterate... in the center of the paper... the word "rusty" connotes that he has to deal with these kinds of problems regularly, although not as significant as this particular one, but he will continue to protect his kingdom from any kind of corruption. In this poem, Queen Elizabeth not only powerfully conveys a real-life situation, but she does so artistically through the use of figurative language, imagery, and symbolism. Throughout this constantly changing poem, she creates tension for the reader that, unfortunately for her, never ends. With a threat in every corner of her kingdom, the reader begins to realize how difficult it is to be the Queen of England. However, the Queen knows that it is her responsibility to keep her kingdom peaceful and will be faithful and fierce in keeping it that way, putting in great expenditures of time, effort and energy.
