Marie Antoinette married King Louis and she soon became the center of attention. Everything she did was seen as a bad thing in France. The French blamed Marie of all the bad things that were happening during the Revolution. Not to mention that she made a lot of controversy concerning all the indulgences that she was consuming. She was also one of the few wealthy people to defend privileges of the aristocracy, which many people did not like. Since at the time people were getting taxed more the nobles turned against Marie and took all their anger out on her. Since Marie and King Louis were being attacked because of power that the monarchy had they attempted to flee France, once again making Marie look like the bad one. Ultimately Marie symbolized all the things that were wrong and unfair with the monarchy. At the time when the queen was meeting with her lawyer she spoke about how she felt that the government was not giving her the correct amount of time to show them evidence corresponding to her innocence. When she was sentenced to execution Marie remained calm but at times nervous. When she heard her fate she had no reaction, making it seem as if she did not care about anything that was happening at the time.
