Best Answer

Peasants of the French Revolution were angry at Marie Antoinette because they felt she controlled Louis - the current king - and that she had too much of a say in the welfare and running of the country. She was easy to hate, after all she had been born an Austrian.

Marie Antionette had that misfortune of being Austrian, an enemy of France for centuries. She spent a lot of money on clothes, jewels and food while the French people were scraping by if they were lucky.
