Weapons (symbol)
In her speech, Queen Elizabeth I says that she will take up arms and fight for her country together with her subjects, in a sign of personal nobility. Here, the weapon is a symbol of protection from enemies. The weapon does not symbolize evil, but rather a struggle and liberation from evil.
Battlefield (symbol)
Perhaps the place where all the wars and battles are taking place is a place that has the most terrible memories. The battlefield where Queen Elizabeth’s troop is going to fight for freedom is a symbol of death and suffering. Death is the queen of the battlefield and her subjects are agonies.
Support, respect (motifs)
If the leader wants to earn the respect of the populace, the leader needs to learn how to respect his or her people. Queen Elizabeth I is talking with her army very sensibly and respectfully. She respects her people; moreover, she gives them her support and encourages them to move on. Elizabeth is a leader because she knows how to listen and support.
