The door leads to a small room containing her dressing room and a nap bed. She also uses the door when the King sneaks into her bedroom. The building where my husband is located must pass through this small room. Antoinette ran through it crying and ran down the stairs. ("Crisis approaching") From "Commentary" in this book Death came from the other side in the reign of terror of the Great Revolution. It was even said that she had sacrificed her mortal body. But if, contrary to public opinion, death did not come from outside, but from within her--through deep circumstances that she herself was the cause of death, then what was Antoinette's life and death? It is a true theme that runs through the story. The author keeps asking questions until the end. Why did a woman wish for destruction, walk the trajectory of catastrophe to the end and lose her strength? -- Makoto Kanazawa (Professor, Gakushuin University)
