Who is Louis from Marie Antoinette: The Journey and what is their importance? Marie_Antoinette:_The_Journey English & Literature Louis | Marie Antoinette: The Journey

Louis is the grandson of King Louis XV, King of France, and hair to the throne. Louis is obese and somewhat ungainly in both his appearance and his actions. He notes that Antoinette is very graceful when she dances, a trait he seems to admire and probably envies. He is studious and seems to enjoy learning. Though he has been raised to understand the importance of producing an heir to the throne, he chooses not to consummate his marriage on the wedding night as had been expected. This trend continues for some time. When he eventually has intercourse with his wife, he doesn't ejaculate. It takes a heart-to-heart talk from Antoinette's brother before Louis fully performs his full duty.
