Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity

My character is called Richard, he is 23 years old and has been suffering in the unequal society as a peasant for his whole life until the revolution.He is a cowardice person and never wants to express himself. During the revolution, he defeated his fear and helped France to become a loving country.

I think the French Revolution cannot be determined whether if it is worth it or not. It depends on which side you are during that time. The aim of the revolution is to have liberty, equality, and fraternity in the society. So the peasant would think that the revolution is worth it, they’ve got what they wanted and made the three estate equal. However, the people from the first and second class would feel unfair. The French Revolution made their power decrease and many people were sacrificed. They were at the top of France before the revolution, but after the revolution, they lost their power and were equal with the third estate, which they also hate.
