被斬首的皇後

英國製作的係列電視劇,The Tudors, 是我最喜歡的電視劇之一。雖然裏麵的英國口音和拗口的、正式的、非現代的英語表達方式,聽起來有些費力氣,不過演員們出色的表演,製作的大場麵,華麗典雅服飾,宮廷禮儀和生活的繁複與奢華,以及對英國曆史的再現,都吸引著人們看下去。

如果他們不再繼續拍攝女王伊莉莎白一世的事跡與生活,那麽最新的一季將成為這一係列優秀劇集的終結。在這一季裏,不可一世的亨利八世又將他的第五任妻子砍頭處死。當然,作為皇後Kathryn Howard為她自己的不端行為付出了慘痛的代價,19歲就被處死,而且是在眾目睽睽之下以皇後的身份和不忠的緣由。不知道她會不會有早知今日何必當初的惋惜和悔恨。 臨刑前她說了一句話,使她絕望和無奈的心情昭然若揭。

在她被處死的前一天,一位牧師來到關押她的牢房,問她是否需要懺悔,那是天主教的一個儀式。她回答說 "I rarely speak to God, I don't think he knows who I am". 也就是說“我極少和上帝說話,我想他不知道我是誰” 這句話給我的印象非常深刻,一直都不能忘記。這裏的“和上帝說話”指的是禱告。禱告是上帝賜給門徒向他傾訴心事,尋求來自上帝的指引、憐憫、寬恕、祝福和力量等等的特權。
 


看完Kathry被處死的這一集,她說的那句話,一直縈繞著我,揮之不去,於是寫了下麵的一點觀後感。

The TV show <> is growing on me since I started watching this series two years ago. In the last season, there was an episode, and one subtitle was so impressive, and these words keep haunting me all day long. I think I will remember what she said always.

Before being executed,  a pastor asked 
Kathryn Howard whether she needed a confession, She said "I rarely speak to God, I don't think he knows who I am".  Next day, she was beheaded as a queen of England, 
 the fifth wife of King Henry VIII who is the father of famous Queen Elizabeth I. We have to admit that Hery himself is a critical king to expand the territory and power of England. Without him, Elizabeth I wouldn't make "Golden age" of England come ture.  

When Kathryn Howard married the King she was only 17 years old, then two years later she was killed by her own misconduct before her marriage and after.  It's a really sad ending for her but I wonder a lot that how much she felt regretful for behaving improperly or even becoming a queen.
