Marie-Antoinette's mind skipped around a great deal, and deep concentration appeared to be a challenge, unless it was something that she really enjoyed, such as memorizing lines for a play. Her governess spoiled her; as long as she was sweet, she could get away with not finishing her lessons. Nesta Webster says that the tendency to be easily distracted may later have kept her from becoming totally overwhelmed during the Revolution, since she was able to stay in the present moment without brooding too deeply upon what might happen next.elena maria vidalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129629173535139807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-31699676621894013492008-11-03T08:47:00.000-05:002008-11-03T08:47:00.000-05:00Thank you for the lovely post on Marie Antoinette'...Thank you for the lovely post on Marie Antoinette's childhood. I agree that Marie probably had a little bit of ADD. The concept of making learning fun wasn't known then, but I think if it had been, Marie probably would have enjoyed learning more. I certainly think that she was bright enough.Elizabeth Kerri Mahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763642809052430107noreply@blogger.com
