Marie Antoinette, the French Patty Hearst

I added a Marie Antoinette quote in the Famous quotations that never were tread that not many might recognice. It was by Patty Hearst, kidnapped millioneres daughter who went along her kidnappers. For the kicks of it, say Marie Antoinette get kidnapped and brainwashed. Then what?
 
Louis might go along with it.
If so, the Bourbons become figureheads of the revolution rather than the villains of it. Most of the rage will probably be directed at the nobility and clergy rather than the monarchy itself.

Early on, the revolution was quite middle-class and very pro-constitutional monarchy. Heck, the original reason the French National Guard chose blue coats was because the King wore blue. It's not unlikely for that trend to continue.
 
Somebody recently wrote a biography of her which states she's been misunderstood and misrepresented, and she was actually sympathetic to a lot of people. Apparently she's not the one who said, "Let them eat cake," for instance.
 
Was she a sheltered girl? Did she really know what was going on? If she was kidnapped, could she be brainwashed?

I stole this idea from Thande who let her say "let them eat lead" in the fam-quote tread but bomb thrower also work...

She was one of Maria Theresas less smart children, but by the standard of the time she was still above average, but she suffered from the Bush-syndrom, she wasn't especially interested in the world around her, if she was forced to, she could find solutions to problems, but she were intellectual lazy. But she was raised to care for her subject and would likely be positive toward improving their life if she saw their suffering.

she was very cut off from what was going on in France. She barely got any attention at all from her husband as he was young. She even had her own peasant village that was near Versailles and it was perfect as it was directly supported by the government. She thought France was all and well till the rioters were at the gates.
