What represent the storming of the Bastille to the french people?

It was randomly known there was a lot of gunpowder stored in the Bastille and since the people feared that King Louis XVI was planning a counter revolution, they wanted to arm themselves against the foreign regiments of the King. Also, the Bastille, where people could be imprisoned at the whim of the monarch, represented royal authority and this was exactly what the French people didn't want anymore. The French saw it as a victory when they freed the 7 prisoners and tore down the Bastille. They conveniently forgot the fact that among them were 4 forgers, 2 lunatics and 1 pedophile. The revolutionaries turned the rioters into the 'heroes' of the Bastille, fighting under the bullets of the monarchy, and the event into a symbol of the fight for Liberty.
