French revolution

The French Revolution Began in France during the late 16 century, 1789 and ended in 1799. The Revolution started because the people believed that the government and the king were treating the peasants very unfair. Charging them a large amount of taxes that they weren't able to afford and forcing them to fight in the army. They had to pay the higher people for living in their area of the richer people. The wealthy people didn't have to pay high price taxes only the peasant.

The church was even receiving a percentage of their income. According to http://project1.caryacademy.org/1851/frenchrevolution.htm this all started with the country stating that king Louis and his wife has put them in debt. Which lead to the country going against their own goverment.
The story Frankenstin has many similarites to the French revolutions because the novel was writen and pulished in Londan were the revolution accured it was acctually publish in the year 1818 rite after the war. The novel is based on a man who learns how to use science to the next level and creates something that looks human but has a lot more advantage over people for example he is much bigger, learns quicker and was mad instantly. Some people say that the thing that Victor made was a monster but I don't really know yet for sure until i continue reading. However I believe that the goverment during the french revolutions was like the monster that was created do to the treat me they gave their country. This is a picture i got off the web that is supposed to be the thing victor created
