The Necklace and it's importance
The Necklace - 1755 → 1793 - Wife of Louis XVI - Blamed for countless problems in France - Beheaded by guillotine in the revolution two days after her husband was crowned king. - At the death of Louis XV, the necklace was unpaid for, which almost bankrupted the jeweler's and led to various unsuccessful schemes to secure a sale to Queen Marie Antoinette. - Her alleged remark, "let them eat cake" has been citied as showing her obliviousness to the poor conditions in which many of her subjects lived in whilst she lived decadently, however it's unknown whether she actually said this or not. The Necklace symbolises the gap between the rich and the poor which is massively prevalent in modern day, shown in Lupin.
