Read the excerpt from "The Story of a Warrior Queen." After Boadicea had been so cruelly and unjustly treated, she burned with anger against the Romans. Her heart was full only of thoughts of revenge. She called her people together, and, standing on a mound of earth so that they could see and hear her, she made a speech to them. She told them first how shamefully the Romans had behaved to her, their Queen. Then, like Caractacus, she reminded them how their forefathers had fought against Julius Caesar, and had driven the Romans away for a time at least. "Is it not better to be poor and free than to have great wealth and be slaves?" she asked. "And the Romans take not only our freedom but our wealth. They want to make us both slaves and beggars. Let us rise. O brothers and sisters, let us rise, and drive these robbers out of our land! Let us kill them every one! Let us teach them that they are no better than hares and foxes, and no match for greyhounds! We will fight, and if we cannot conquer, then let us die—yes, every one of us—die rather than submit."

How does the archetype presented in the excerpt support the universal theme of freedom above life?

Boadicea's warrior archetype leads her to fight the Romans and die if necessary.
Boadicea's rebel archetype results in her seeking revenge against the Romans.
Boadicea's sage archetype makes her impart wisdom to people in her community.
Boadicea's villain archetype makes her want to steal money from the Romans.
