In Hilary Mantel's "A Place of Greater Safety," the character Antoinette expresses a belief that the traditional order will return, with figures like Provence and Artois reinstated, along with the priests. This return suggests a restoration of the old regime, with a recognition of the consequences that the actions of parents will have on their children, implying an inescapable cycle of suffering and accountability. Marat, passionately engaged in his rhetoric, foresees a grim future where the nation will face violent repercussions. His vivid imagery of an "abattoir" starkly conveys his belief that the impending change will not be peaceful, hinting at a bloody upheaval as society confronts its past injustices and fails to learn from them.
