Marie Antoinette was destined to become Queen of France, albeit born under an unlucky star. Carefree and trusting, she imagined life as a series of pleasures and entertainments, unaware that beyond the palace existed another world, mired in poverty and hatred. Spoiled by the admiration of her courtiers, she failed to understand how fleeting the attention of the crowd is and how short-lived power is.
When France found itself in the flames of the Great Revolution, a web of intrigue spread behind the queen's back—she was labeled the epicenter of all vices and thrown under the guillotine. So what truly destroyed Marie Antoinette: the riot of the mob, the baseness of the aristocracy, or her own frivolity?
