Num context of absolute hierarchy, where Rainha was supreme authority and mandava and desmandava não só not palácio of her as a policy of the country, Duquesa exercised a very important role not reign.

Because it is extremely close to Rainha, it ends up having influence on more varied questões such as war management, collecting taxes and the administration of palácio accounts.

Or the beginning of the move

Or a silent dining room with Abigail's (who wins Emma Stone's body).

A rise of Abigail changes to dynamics of the court.
Abigail's check changes to dynamics in court.

Initially hired as a maid, taking advantage of her kinship with Duchess, Abigail went upstairs quickly.

Alert, malicious and extremely intelligent, the maid is plotting ways to approach Rainha at the same time as even the Duchess of Marlborough.

Observer, she repairs the few years that Duchess made her face to keep Rainha in control of her. Accidentally, we have gone ao quarto da Rainha to look for a free, Abigail discovers that this is a love affair.

Gradually then, Rainha is approaching, especially taking advantage of the periods of distance from Marlborough. A maid, a few years, conquers space not a cabinet in Rainha's bed.

Or a silent room when a flagrant Duchess Abigail is in the monarch's bed. From that moment there is an open war between the duas.

To reviravolta

I didn't hit any more low to kill Duquesa da Rainha from time to time, Abigail placed poison no chá da first. Some time depois to armadilha face effeito and to Duquesa fallen do cavalo, being dragged by the forest.

A relationship of Duchess with Abigail becomes extremely competitive.

Abigail takes advantage of or afastamento gives her greatest rival to mexer os seus pauzinhos no palácio. She gets married as a member of the nobility, thus leaving her maid status behind. A young man also moves to the opinion of Rainha in respect of the destiny of the war that the country travades with France.

In time, Duquesa continued to go through more bites. The fora sheltered in the forest and padded on the edge of the land will recover. With an enormous scar not yet recovered, Marlborough returned to the palace to occupy his place of power, now usurped by Abigail.

Percebendo to dimension that Abigail took-getting-married-moving or rumo of war-Marlborough blackmails Rainha with love letters from her authorship that he had received. To Duquesa ameaça disclose the case letters to Rainha não afaste Abigail and continue with the war.

Finally, after being blackmailed, Rainha resists and refuses to attend to the Duchess's requests. A relationship between the two piora from time to time and Ana expelled from the palace.

Abigail, each time more powerful, passes to ter more control over Rainha. Finally, convinced by Abigail that the Duchess had been diverted by money, Ana expels Marlborough from the country.

Meaning of the end of the film

The last dinners of the film by the story of the Duquesa destination, by Abigail and da Rainha. Expelled from England, condemned, we see Duchess and Duke at home receiving a visit from a delegation to Cavalo.

Marlborough interprets that image as a check from the post, as a long-awaited reply to the letter he had sent to Rainha. A dinner and interrupted and it is up to the public to speculate or the destination of the house or reception of the news.

Abigail, for the same time, continued to serve Ana, lending sexual favors and exercising or power that previously belonged to Duquesa. Em uma manhã após as dores terríveis da Rainha, Abigail is sitting, reading, when she passes the um coelhinho.

Demonstrating her cruel and vingative nature to emerge, she steps not coelho to cause frustration out of sheer delight. O coelho noisy face from dor e to Rainha wakes up.

Ana gets up and follows her in the direction of carrying two serious bouts of loucura.

Aos screaming, she orders Abigail to massageie. Ajoelhada, the following orders from Rainha when Ana leaned against her head, as Abigail was a mere object.

Through a visual effect we see the face of Abigail and Rainha is mixed and condensed with the image of a series of coelhos. It is a quase hallucinogenic composition that allows multiple readings.

We can think that the proliferation of two coelhos represents a multiplication of a submissive cut that lowers Rainha - a group from which Abigail faces.

On the other hand, to superimpose with the image of two coelhos Abigail can place no role of one of them: eternally imprisoned in the fourth of Rainha, she holds her beloved prazer.

One other possible reading is invested in the investment of parents: Abigail is tortured or coelho in the previous dinner, not plan to follow Rainha who tortures Abigail, proving that every action has a return.

Another interpretive view places Rainha, Abigail and the others in the same position: they will all be creatures of a nature and condemned to a destiny of imprisonment.

Film analysis Favorite

Complex personagens

No film by Greek director Yórgos Lánthimos we found extremely complex personagens, which is not summed up to vilãs ou mocinhas.

For Rainha, for example, who usually suffers from raiva or euphoria, behaves simultaneously as a megera and as a lacking creature.

We are sorry for the past and lost days that Ana sofreu like the filhos that will leave early, but at the same time we identify an extremely spoiled and arrogant creature.

Extremely lonely, Rainha Ana is able to do better.
Extremely lonely, Rainha Ana is able to do better.

Abigail, for the time being, came to history as a victim and managed to conquer her space despite all the difficulties. However, in many situations it ends up agir with pure cruelty and vingança.

It was her first appearances Abigail was deceived by a servant who looked like she loved me A bucket of acid, in one of the last dinners, she bruises on purpose, a two harmless coelhos da Rainha.

Abigail alternates moments when she is a victim with periods when she is something.
Abigail alternates moments when she is a victim with periods when she is something.

A former maid seems to be learning how cruelty alheia e, at the same time that she seems to have admiration and Affection Pela Rainha, she also uses all the opportunities she fears to manipulate her and poison her against Duchess.

Abigail, a long time film, has been gaining outlines of cruelty.
Abigail, a long time film, has been gaining outlines of cruelty.

The Duchess of Marlborough, at the third point of the triangle, has, for the same time, another extremely dense profile. She seems to be the only one who tells Rainha the truth and remains by her side in moments of extreme sleep.

On the other hand, for this dedication she charges a high price: many times Rainha seems like a puppet in her hands and Duchess demands that her opinions of her be followed by the risk.

To Duchess she shows traces of a cold and manipulative personality, but at the same time she seems to genuinely care like Rainha.

To rainha e os seus coelhos

On the first days of the film's dinners, we see that Rainha Ana keeps three gaiolas with coelhos in her fourth quarter than the "little meus" girl. Rainha demands that Duchess complies with you, but she refuses because she blames bizarre attitude.

So three mysterious gaiolas full of coelhos that Rainha Ana mantinha em seu quarto de ella.
So three mysterious gaiolas full of coelhos that Rainha Ana mantinha em seu quarto de ella.

Much later, at a dinner with Abigal, or a spectator, get to understand why there are so many coelhos not quarto da Rainha.

The monarch affirms that she lost filhos between abortions and babies that were born, but will not resist for a long time.

Anguished she resolved to raise coelhos, dezessete, um for each child. It was how each coelho represents a lost child, by isso the animais tinham special characteristics (the faziam anniversario, inclusive).

Or the gesture of sheltering so many coelhos em gaiolas inside the own room that shows an indication of the unbalanced by Rainha Ana, who has unsubstantiated ravages and explosions of fury.

Based on real data

The long metragem of Yórgos Lánthimos was based on the royal reign of Rainha Anne, who led England between 1702 and 1714.

Anne tornou-se rainha depois de seu pai e de sua irmã. Before that, her father, James II, reigned for three years, leaving the throne behind the Revolução Gloriosa in 1688.

A coroa teria passed then for Anne's sister, Mary, who was married to Guilherme de Orange (um Dutch). As a house that did not have filhos, Anne saw to follow the line of succession and receivership or throne dating from 1702.

Record is given by Rainha Anne, who had commanded England between
Registered by Rainha Anne, who commanded England between 1702 and 1714.

Historically, Rainha Anne was of fundamental importance because during her reign, Scotland and England were unified, leading to the first rainha da Grã-Bretanha.

Or what is true and fiction in history?

Or film, however, it unravels at some points. Não ha qualquer prova, for example, that Rainha has a gaiola as coelhos in her fourth of her. Já o fato de ter lost dezessete filhos é verdadeiro, so much so that to linhagem de Stuart, to what belonging, I ended up eating it.

Or the film is also right when it places Anne as an extremely benign creature - it is true that Rainha suffers from gout and has periods of extreme illness.

There is also no trustworthy record that shows homossexual inclinations. Not so, to personage of the Duchess of Marlborough was inspired by Sarah Churchill, a confidant of Rainha, who was married as a military officer and who rose to the status of Duchess as taken from Anne's posse.

Sarah Churchill effectively stepped into high power in the court controlling finances, administering the palace and commenting on the war.

A personage of Abigail Masham had also existed and a maid had been approached by Rainha, as a story or film, through Sarah Churchill. She would be able to replace or take her place years later.

A major disagreement between Abigail and Sarah teria occurred for political reasons: Abigail accredited not match two tories e Sarah was enthusiastic about match two whigs.
