The Historical Event Is The Invasion Of The Spanish Armada Of 1588
The enormous sea fleet sent by King Philip II of Spain in 1588 to invade England. England tried to counter this fleet by fighting entirely with heavy guns, and the failure of Spain’s Armada saved England from possible absorption into the Spanish empire.
This event is usually viewed with an overwhelming focus on the battle itself, showcasing the skills of the English fleet which was under the command of Charles Howard who battled the leadership of the experienced admiral Medina-Sidonia.
If we were to use the feminist critical literary theory the event would be viewed differently.
The Invasion Of The Spanish Armada Of 1588 happened during the Elizabethan Era, it was under her leadership that the Spanish Armada was defeated and she saved England from invasion, defending an invasion from the greatest European power of the age.
<em>¨I know I have the body of a weak, </em><em>feeble woman</em><em>; but I have the heart and stomach of a </em><em>king</em><em>, and of a </em><em>king of England</em><em> too.¨</em>
The feminist critical literary theory is a lense through which we can view a historical event. In literary criticism we may use reasoning, emotion and logic but it helps to try on different ¨lenses¨ to search for deeper meaning. Our view of the event may change if we are only concerned with the ways in which this event may reinforce or undermine the leadership of either the men or women involved or vice versa.
Equiano's writing on the Middle Passage is the section of the work most
likely to end up in anthologies for history and literature classes. It
is a profoundly evocative and devastating account of one of the most
terrible events in human history: the forcible removal of millions of
Africans from their home, and their subsequent transportation across the
Atlantic in slave ships, under the most abominable and hellish
conditions imaginable. Slaves were chained to the hold and had to
perform their bodily functions while chained. Excrement and refuse were
everywhere, and the air was heavy with noxious, harmful smells. There
was no privacy, even for women and girls. Slaves could not move about,
and barely escaped without their limbs atrophying. They rarely had
enough to eat or drink, and would grow sick in droves. The cries of
pain, terror, and grief filled the air at all times. Many had no idea
why they were there, and were frightened of the white faces on the ship.
Individuals were severed from their families and thrust together with
strangers whose languages they could not speak. Many were beaten
mercilessly. It was so terrible that many slaves wished for death, but
even this was rarely possible by one's own volition. Equiano's account
is a valuable source for examining the realities of the slave system,
for its evocative writing and historical perspective.
