We watch this to see what a corporate American remake of a French story might look like. We don't learn much from watching this film, at least nothing that would not be learned by reading the original work by Dumas. An open-ended question like "what kind of questions are raised…" is absurd. Any one human being could ask a million different types of questions about this film. The prompt really needs to be more specific here. I could ask some questions -- is that what is required? A question might be about the cultural and social situation surrounding d'Artagnan that would compel him to want to leave...
Another question might be why Dumas felt this a good setting and background for his story.
Question 2. What territory is this? France? France grows and shrinks with the power of its rulers. During that time, France was a collection of different regions with their own dialects and cultures, but these areas were unified under a crown. Thus, the size of the areas under the crown were roughly equivalent to the strength of the crown.
Question 3. The list is written in French because the subject is France. That is the relevant language for such a list. Some things might have been written in Latin, but it would depend on the audience. If there are no queens, that is because the rules of French royal succession did not allow for queens. This was according to Salic law, which had a rule of agnatic succession.
Question 4. Salic law was the civil code of the Frankish kingdom in the Middle Ages. This law governed succession of the French crown since the days of Clovis and continued to govern succession of his crown and other rules of succession in France. A key element was agnatic succession, which excluded females. Further, other rules were a part of Salic law. The Hundred Years' War was about the succession to the French throne. Philip VI was crowned as the French king, because Salic law dismissed all males who had come through a female line. The female line in question was that of Isabella, with her son Edward claiming to be the closest heir to the throne. The war was the…
French Revolution An Analysis of the Radical Phase of the French Revolution The French Revolution was almost extinguished in 1792. The economic reforms prompted by the Cahier of the Third Estate of Dourdan (29 March 1789) had only appeared to benefit the middle and upper classes of the Third Estate. Meanwhile, fearing the spread of revolt throughout all Europe, Prussian and Austrian forces were marching towards Paris to cut it off at
French Revolution Seemingly prudent people go to war against their government when conditions under current laws make it impossible to earn a living and provide for their families, such as the conditions which led to the French Revolution. The French Kingdom was divided into districts headed by an individual, the "intendant," appointed by the crown, who had complete authority and total control, except in military matters (Young pp). So enormous was his
Symbolism first developed in poetry, where it spawned free verse. Forefathers included the poets Baudelaire, Verlaine, and Rimbaud; practitioners included Laforgue, Moreas, and Regnier. The Swiss artist Arnold Becklin is perhaps the most well-known Symbolist painter; his pictures are like allegories without keys, drenched in melancholy and mystery. Other artists working in this vein include Odilon Redon and Gustave Moreau. The Surrealists drew heavily on the Symbolists later on. Catalan
French Colonization: The Eurocentric Perspective vs. The Revisionist perspective Colonization takes place when some people staunchly believe that the culture they are a part of and the lifestyle they follow is better, beneficial and therefore must be adopted by those that have a foreign feeling towards theirs. As Some comments in his magnum opus, Of Water and the Spirit, while explaining what happens under 'colonization', Colonization begins from a feeling of superiority
French Enlightenment The Failure of Enlightened Absolutism in France: An Analysis of the Economic and Political Situation of the Country during the Enlightenment Period The dawn of the 18th century saw the emergence of a period that eventually determined the future of modern society -- that is, the Age of Enlightenment. Under the Age of Enlightenment, the prevalent ideology is that it is possible for people to formulate and enforce reform and
civilizations have often resulted in dramatic changes to both sides. Peaceful encounters bring transfers to new goods, new technologies and new ideas, while encounters built on conflict can change outlooks, governments and ways of life. A violent culture clash occurred with the Crusades, while a more peaceful meeting of the cultures occurred with traders from Europe (especially Venetians) heading eastward to Asia. These two encounters between civilizations would lead
