The action that best supports the idea that Boadicea is a warrior is the last option:
Boadicea tells the Roman leader that she will speak with her sword.
This option clearly shows that Boadicea has no intention to talk with the Roman leader, because she believes that to surrender is dishonorable for a warrior and the last thing a British would do. That is the reason why she says:
‘You shall have peace, peace, but no submission. A British heart will choose death rather than lose liberty’
She affirms that to her, the only course of action a warrior is to fight, therefore, the fact that the Roman leader approaches with a sign of peace acting as a coward, seems unconceivable for her. Boadicea considers that she is a warrior above all, her only option is to fight and under no circumstances will she speak to an enemy to settle a dispute peacefully. In conclusion, Boadicea is directly proclaiming that the only option available to her is to fight, until the last consequences and the fact that the Romans are enemies and nothing will change that.
