What Mary Surratt’s Sentence Should’ve Actually Been Mary Surratt should have not been executed, but she should have instead received a prison sentence to life.

She would have been a serious threat to the queen as Mary had a claim to the English throne which was based on the fact that she was the grand-daughter of Margaret Tudor (Henry VIII’s sister). In the eyes of the Catholics, Mary's claim appeared stronger than Elizabeth's because they believed that Henry's marriage to Anne Boleyn was illegal. This would have seriously threatened Elizabeth’s security as there was a possibility that Elizabeth could lose her place on the English throne, therefore endangering her safety, royal supremacy, religious settlement. However, this threat didn’t remain as on the 19th May 1568, Elizabeth imprisoned her cousin. This shows that Mary, who was a prestigious Catholic, didn’t remain a threat to Elizabeth’s security as she was imprisoned for 19 years and was consequently unable to do anything about Elizabeth being queen.

The author of the reading passage contends that there are several theories presented about how Mary Rose, the most important and powerful ship of the English navy, sank immediately after the Battle of the Solent. Contrary to what the reading passage believes, the lecturer holds the opinion that the theories provided in the reading passage are unclear. In the lecture, he uses three specific points to support his idea. Firstly, according to the reading passage, the gunports that were used for shooting might not close correctly after the guns were fired, thus the gunports got flooded and the Mary Rose sank. On the contrary, the professor casts doubt on this statement by saying that if that happened, the guns would have been empty.
Moreover, journal entries from the queen herself indicate that even she did not see herself as rising above her station. Mary writes that she is “so little fit” for government affairs, and that “I do not know when I ought to speak and when not” during her council sessions. Despite the extraordinary power that Mary had, and often times yielded, her writing suggests that she still conceived of herself within the confines of traditional feminine ideals, which included not having an appetite for government business and a mouth that knows when to be silent and when to be used. Despite her active role in ecclesiastical appointments and involvement in government while William was away in military campaigns, Mary II obediently retired from politics

Mary resembles a catholic figure providing a place in each catholic person’s heart. It also provides a sensibility of protection within the inner self. The crucifixion of Jesus. Religion in Sir Gawain and Green Knight symbolizes the righteousness Gawain desires that may teach morals and values and the seriousness about temptation in the outside world.
Using religious figures to communicate the emotions of her entire race, Brooks reveals a surprising forgiveness for the prejudice her peers undergo. Contemplating the return of the Virgin Mary, Brooks reaches the conclusion “Mary would not punish men—If Mary came again.” In Brooks’ mind, if Mary “came” on Earth “again,” she would forgive, not punish, the world for selfishly crucifying her son hundreds of years ago. This religious allusion that dominates the entirety of the poem also acts as a suggestion for the black race. With Martin Luther King Jr. thinking, Brooks believes the people of her color should, “forgive” instead of “punish” the white men for prejudice.
36. The third eye when used in pieces of literature normally represents all seeing, for the third eye is able to sense what ones two eyes cannot. By the narrator suggesting that he was being examined by a man with his third eye open, he is implying that the man saw the narrator for what he was, a blank slate not skewed by the systematic oppression in society, which dictates ones views. Under this examination the narrator is no longer invisible, for the third eye is all seeing and all knowing, the blindness which is possessed by ones regular eyes cannot blind the third eye, thus suggesting that the narrator for that instance in time was treated as an equal, regular man. 37.
