Question

Read the excerpt from "The Story of a Warrior Queen."

When Boadicea saw that all hope was gone, she called her daughters to her. "My children," she said sadly, as she took them by the hand and drew them towards her, "my children, it has not pleased the gods of battle to deliver us from the power of the Romans. But there is yet one way of escape." Tears were in her blue eyes as she kissed her daughters. She was no longer a queen of fury but a loving mother.

Which archetype does Boadicea, the queen of the Britons, best represent?

the sage
the rebel
the tragic heroine
the villain

Answer 1

c. The tragic heroine

it's a tragic situation. definitely not rebel, as she aint rebelling, not a sage, as she isnt spreading wisdom, nor a villian, as shes being a caring mother here.
