Marie Antoinette, the last queen of France before the French Revolution, has gone down in history rather negatively, as she was and is often accused of extravagance, a love of excessive luxury and a lack of concern for the plight of her subjects. On the other hand, her life ended tragically, as she died, like her husband, King Louis XVI of France, under the revolutionary guillotine, which was supposed to bring "Liberty, Equality and Fraternity" to all. After her death, the story of her life was written to a large extent by her executioners, i.e. anti-monarchist revolutionaries. This must be taken into account when dealing with this topic. But is Marie Antoinette rightly perceived so negatively to this day? Marie Antoinette was perhaps a victim of the system and court life in which she lived since childhood? Perhaps. Let us not judge anyone before we know their life in more detail. Only then will we understand why specific people fell into the web of conventions and programmed behaviors learned from various situations and life circumstances, into which each of us is thrown with birth and a given era. This does not mean that there are no timeless values such as love and goodness. All the more reason to get to know the story of Marie Antoinette's life, because it is not only tragic, but above all both fascinating and incredible! Full of ups and downs. Like the life of each of us. In addition, I encourage you to subscribe, comment and like!
