�what do you think of this text? is a fragment of the Cencis of alexanderdumas?

There is a feeling of foreboding and then horror as the character is executed. It is rather a grisly scene and it includes her humiliation as she is executed, decapitated in from of a crowd. It's not fun nor pleasant to read, not at all, but perhaps that is what makes it so well-written and so wonderful to read. It makes us both think and feel. If there was no feeling to it then it would be just a textbook history. This actually reaches in and grabs our heart.
