Member of the Royal Family (E. Kalander)
Quite frankly, the violence that this country has subjected
itself to is appalling. They are killing innocent civilians who do not deserve such a fate. And as if that’s not enough, they have the nerve to blame all the
commotion on the Royal Family. Have we not tried in every way to help France? I
believe we have, though the citizens of Paris seem to strongly disagree, for a reason that is beyond my understanding. My family will be fleeing soon due to the barbaric state
of community surrounding us. It is no longer a safe place. Priests are getting
murdered before our eyes. Prisoners slaughtered from day to night, mobs
storming our grounds. What should happen if a member of our family was to be
killed? We cannot take a chance like that. We cannot stoop down to the level of
the common people.
Clergymen (I. Iannotti): I personally could not agree with you more, the people of the upper classes should not have to sacrifice a single life just because these lowly people have gone mad. However, it must be our duty to save the beautiful country of France, I will pray to God every single day that no one in the Royal Family, or any one of the nobles get killed during this violent time.
ReplyDeleteSans-culotte (Grace Mahoney)- What other choice is there?! Before the September Massacres and the Revolution, the third estate had no power in the Estates-General, even though it makes up 97% of the population! Although the fact that many lives were lost may seem tragic, it was what needed to be done. The people deserve their say in government, and this was one of the steps that needed to be taken in order to give them that.

ReplyDeleteWhy should the first two estates have such great privileges at the expense of the majority? Before the French Revolution, we, the people of the third estate, did not have any power or say in our government. We needed to kill the people of the first estate in order to gain this power and say. This step was necessary to gain the power and say that we so deserved. This needed to be done.
