The Elizabethan Temper Tantrum

I was really fascinated by all the tantrums we say from Elizabeth in the film and the text (who just breaks people's fingers?). I know that rulers are people too, but how does God's appointed minister get away with flying off the handle in this manner. Do the temper tantrums get in the way of her masculine positioning, or does it reinforce it. To me, a temper tantrum is more weak and feeble, coming from a lack of self control. I certainly wouldn't want to find out that our male president was having public freak-outs. Then again, maybe the ability to express your anger is powerful and masculine. I can't picture Renaissance women having the freedom to have a tantrum. Still, I wonder if her advisers ever suggested that she calm down (or were they too afraid of getting their ears boxed).
