Explain the symbolism in the chapter 23 and 24 from book 2
In Chapter 23, we see that Saint Antoine is a changed place without Monseigneur, as France is a changed place without people of his class. Although he was source of oppression, he was also a source of pride and a symbol of luxury.
Also is Chapter 23, the Monseigneur's chateau is lit on fire during the night. This serves as a symbol of deliverance for the French people.
