In Lie to Me, Buffy’s class discuss Marie-Antoinette and the French Revolution - in which the lower classes in France demanded equal rights from King Louis XVI and the land-owning aristocracy in 1789. Marie-Antoinette (the Queen of France), convinced her husband to seek aid from foreign governments, and not bow down to the uprising. Austria and Prussia declared war on France in 1792, and she passed secrets to those armies, hoping to get aid to defeat the rebellious lower classes. Both King Louis and Marie-Antoinette were executed at the guillotine in 1793 for treason. |
