The last episode of AnneBoleyn airs tonight, but did the series offer us anything new about the infamous queen?
agree that the queen’s story needs to be more accurately reframed, which is what led to them creating a show about her last days from her own perspective. Executive producer Faye Ward said that “when you look at how, historically, Anne’s picture has been painted, there is so much written about her downfall; how she was a temptress and a witch. When in fact, she was an incredibly heroic politician who was murdered by her husband.
In episode one, Anne uses her wit, cunning and intellect to survive from the off. And yes, she tramples over people to stay ahead. However, while Turner-Smith is terrifyingly sharp in showing this , her vulnerable and paranoid moments prove that this doesn’t make her evil – she’s just a woman in a man’s world. And those men have the power to end her reign and, ultimately, her life.
Take, for instance, the moment when Thomas Cromwell tells Anne: “Your influence lies in your belly, not in your brain.” Determined to assert herself, we see Anne continue in her educated mission: calling out Cromwell for not giving the church money under the Dissolution Act; and getting hold of the first full English language Bible so that everyone can read it.
