How do they get or maintain their power in a monarchy?
In Western countries, they survived mostly by transferring all real power to their Parliament and Governments, a thing that happenend largely in 1848 or shortly after. The royal families that maintained an active involvement in their countries' rule and military affairs almost without exeption did not survive subsequent political upheaval or a lost war; hence the major shake-out after WW 1. Only royal houses that stayed out of active rule and who took on a largely symbolic and ceremonial role as Head of State, survived.
In the (middle) east, surviving royal houses often still do have political power. That is either because they function within a olicharchy or because the King plays a major role in a country's religious traditions.
Why did she turn in to bloody Mary?
Bloody Mary is a legendary girl (we don't even know if she was a real girl) who had a big obsession with herself and was constantly checking herself out in the mirror.

However, this is all just a rumour. Nobody knows if it is true.

Is absolute monarchy an authoritarian form of government?
It depends on the culture, the nation, and the ruler. For example, if the nation is very small (IE: a small island in an archipelago), then there is little need of a fragmented government system. In a larger nation (IE: France in the 1700s), an absolute monarchy would not work as there are just too many people to rule over without delegation.
Again, it also depends on the ruler itself. A just, compassionate absolute monarch will put his or her people above personal gain. However, this does cause problems when the throne passes to someone else, someone who may not be as good as the previous ruler.
Further answer
It also depends on what powers the monarch has. In today's England the monarch has very little actual power and is largely a figurehead. But in say Henry VIII's day the monarch had very much more power.
It would also depend on the monarch - some were good, some were bad. Just like governments and dictators!
What happen after the death of kings and queen?
If you are talking about the current queen of the UK, then I believe at her death there will be no queen, at least for a time. Charles, if he survives Elizabeth I, will instantly become king, but Camilla will not instantly become queen. Charles will become king because he is next in line to the throne and according to current law kingship is transferred at the instant of his predecessor's death. Even if at some future time Camilla is granted the title of queen, and that seems unlikely, she will never be reigning queen; she is not in line to the throne. She would be consort to the reigning monarch just as Prince Philip is consort to Elizabeth II. It is interesting that female consorts are sometimes styled as Queen, as was the mother of Elizabeth II, but I believe male consorts are never styled as King.
It could be that Catherine, William's wife, will be the next queen, and she will be queen as Elizabeth's mother was queen: queen consort and not queen regnant. If everything goes as would naturally be expected, with no one dying before his/her time, then the soon to be born child of William and Catherine, if a girl, will be the next queen regnant, the next reigning queen of the UK.
*As a side note, at the time of the Edward VIII crisis, Edward proposed, as an alternative to abdication, that a marriage to the already divorced Wallis Simpson could be designated as a morganatic marriage, meaning in part that Wallis and any offspring with her would be denied royal status and would be prevented from inheriting anything from Edward, including the throne. That proposal was not acceptable.
