I, Coco Vuitton, have created this journal that contains my personal account of this decade. It all originally started out of sheer boredom caused by my job as a lowly seamstress for the Royal Family, but I am proud to declare that this journal of mine has lived to see everything from 1789 up until 1799; and I intend to continue it for the rest of my days.
Living under Napoleon has been far more tolerable than under Louis, I’ll admit. However, poverty still dominates the streets and festers on the souls of the hungry; the rich and privileged continue to be the ones who prosper. On the days I go out to work, every corner I turn, I am greeted with the sight of a homeless. Though there have been several monumentary reforms to the government, such as the Constitution and the Declaration of the Rights of Man; however, corruptness still remains, all starting with Napoleon. It’s almost as if liberty, equality, and fraternity didn’t exist – in which the only option remains, death.
