The biography of Charlotte Corday is only a small part of the history of the Great French Revolution, where politics, ethics, morality and feelings, intertwined together, received a tragic outcome. Charlotte Corday, who shared the views of the Girondins, considered the Jacobin leader Marat to be the main culprit in the flaring up civil war.
