The England in the year 1605 is very different from the England we know today but we still can find some similarities from modern times and older times. One clear example that I see is that in Old England, Catholics do a terrorist attack on the royalty. The comparisons that I made with this event in the past are also terrorist attacks. One event that was quickly brought to my mind was the Twin Tower attack. This one is the one that I most compare this past event to because both of these attacks were due to the fact that two parties disagreed. Other terrorists attacks that came up to my mind were the bombing of El Nogal, the explosion of the trains in Madrid, and there have been a lot of terrorist attacks recently due to the fact that two different sides disagree.
Old England as well as this modern world needed a central government or basis. “Needed a version of the scriptures that would bind together its people, its church, and its king.”pg.117 What I can compare this unified book that they used in Old England to a modern day book that unites all the people is the Declaration of Independence.
Another thing that I saw from this reading is that justice was very different from now. Before you could torture people and kill without a really fair trail. Now people are treated more softly and consequences are not as brutal.
