How did Absolutism shape the Court at Versailles under King Louis XIV? Develop your answer in detail 

Absolutism in the court of King Louis XIV contributed to his monarchical supremacy, particularly over other powerful institutions in France. It equally served to maintain his control over the class of noble elites, as they all resided in court and he could in this way continually observe their activities. Moreover, Louis XIV's aspect of supremacy and power within France gave him a formidable reputation and position throughout Europe.

Versailles itself became an emblem of royal grandeur. The sumptuosity, and splendour of the palace came to represent the elevation of the king's status. The more grand it appeared to the populace and in comparison to other royal courts, the more powerful and eminent Louis XIV would appear as a monarch. The magnificence of the place, a result of his absolutism, also strengthened his absolutism in this regard.

The propaganda necessitated by absolutism promoted an embellished image of the monarch, through art and culture. Through art, King Louis XIV was systematically portrayed as deific and handsome. This facilitated his reign in absolute monarchy.

Explanation:

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.
