I like how people are taking up for her saying "omg she never said that". The point was that she was so out of touch with the nation she was supposedly governing that she didnt know they were starving.
@bigbadmac82 "It is quite certain that in seeing the people who treat us so well despite their own misfortune, we are more obliged than ever to work hard for their happiness. The King seems to understand this truth." ~Marie Antoinette~
French law at the time required french bakers to sell Brioche or 'Cake' at the same price as bread if they ran out of the latter, this was instituted by the nobility to keep the bakeries from only selling high end pastries to the aristocracy.
@bigbadmac82 Marie Antoinette is portrayed this way mostly because she happened to be queen when the Revolution took place. It would have taken place with or without her. However, she did know of the circumstances of her ppl and if you read up on her, she was a very charitable person. She fed & housed many needy ppl, raised 3 poor children as her own, paid for the education of poor children, sold her family's flatware to buy grain for the needy along w/ eating cheap bread to give even more, etc
@OZDE32 Everything I said was a fact. Not saying she was a saint just that she did a lot more than most nobles of her time and never outright ignored the problem as portrayed. You have to view ppl within their own time period and society. She wasn't evil. The Revolution was very complex. Wasn't simply some peasant uprising against sadistic rich ppl. The middle class had more to do w/ its fruition actually. And some of people who led the Revolution had their heads chopped off after it... Complex.
Finally some sophistication on youtube. A lot of the more senior French revolutionaries didn't want to kill her or Louis the 16th. But they ran from the castle, were caught by some hardcores, kangaroo courted and beheaded.
cake in france back then was a dry tasteless shit not related to the cake of today so its like she told the poor people to pretty much eat shit and die
During the revolution of france, the citisens demonstreted to get bread. But the queen Marie Antoanette said "Let them have kake instead." It was that they was making fun off in this clip.
@Bobobranden Marie Antoinette was King Louis XVI's wife. They were the king and queen of France, but were beheaded during the French Revolution. Marie Antoinette was talking about the peasant revolts that had been happening and convinced her husband that it was nothing to be concerned about. I had to do a project on her and Louis.
To everybody who fills up my inbox with replies to what I said, please read it again. I never said that she uttered that phrase. I said that that was her mindset on the matter.
She didn't say "Let them eat cake." When 7,000 women marched to Versailles, demanding bread/ingredients for bread (it was a staple and part of their livelihood in especially poor families, and of course, the price for it was too high because of the poor economy), Marie went out to her balcony and said "Let them eat bread." The cake line was propaganda written against her.
The "cake" back in the time meant some bread crumps stuck on oven and pot after cooking proper breads. So Antoinette was just trying to have her altruism.
She was the consort, completely powerless. Only Louis XVI had the power to do anything, but he was not a good king. Not a bad man, but he sucked at his job, unlike his great great great grandfather Louis XIV.
@BadBlueBoy213 there's a biographist who wrote marie antoinette biography a long time ago and according to him when some people from the palace told marie antoinette that her people were starving she supposedly said: "let them eat cake" because in her palace gab es so much. like her leftovers.
@BadBlueBoy213 Ignore the others; the truth is different to what most believe. In France at that time bakers would sell out of bread and the poor would have nothing to eat. Marie Antoinette passed a law requiring that bakers who sell out of bread sell cake and other luxury foods at the same price. This way the poor could still get food even with a shortage of bread. It was a very good thing she did and not tyrannical like so many believe.
@aleronstube Actually, Marie Antoinette most likely never uttered those words in the first place, because she didn't know (or most likely care) enough to realize what was going on outside the castle walls. And how could she? She never left, and it wasn't her place to say anything about the situation anyway, even if she was made aware.
@puppetmaster569 That is true, it has been said that these words are fictional. Whatever the case, my point on the bakery is still true. They did pass a law to ‘let them eat cake’ for a good reason, so the quote is out of context.
On December 24 at 8:00 in the morning a young 14 year old boy by the name of scott Johnson was found died. Doctors couldn't come up with the cause of his death. His mother checked his email to seeif she could figure out what happened. Turns out he was still signed into myspace. She found he had gone to sleep after he read and didn't repost a chain letter. If you don't repost this to six videos a girl with no face will kill you tonight. Sorry don't want to die!
Marie Antionette said 'why don' they eat brioche?'. Even then its thought that the let them eat cake line was from a french writers auto-biography. This man(I've forgotten his name) wrote this either 17 or 27 years before maire antionette was born. Also Skulrath makes a valid point, all her life she was told what to do, her marriage was pre-aranged and very few aristocrats knew the conditions the poor were living in.
@bravoameliabedelia Then maybe your to young to watch this, but anyway, it means that she was going to be rude and say let them eat shit and let them eat pussy, instead of her famous saying let them eat cake
Fuck, I'm such a nerd. All I can really focus on is her writing. It should be in calligraphy, but then again, if it was people wouldn't be able to read it.
