  • The Troops At Tilbury: Machiavellian Influence On Queen Elizabeth

    635 Words  | 3 Pages

    Her use of diction to describe her subjects is what motivates them to fight against the Spanish invaders. Elizabeth describes her subjects as being “faithful,” “loving,” and “loyal” and it is what allows them to see her as a kind and clement ruler. Her diction in her descriptions of her soldiers is what allows them to see her as a monarch who is full of compassion for her soldiers going to war and uncertain of the outcome. Adversely, Elizabeth uses the diction of warfare to describe the invaders. She describes the invaders’ actions as “treacher[ous],” calls them “enem[ies],” and uses “invade,'' a word with a negative denotation; Elizabeth follows the teachings of Machiavelli, who once advised rulers to be manipulative yet sly enough to “disguise this characteristic” (Machiavelli, 6).
