I was pretty annoyed to start with how such a privileged modern person (who admitted to this privilege) got a glimpse into the past and then immediately sympathized with people in comparable privilege. I don't always mind characters being written with strong Royalist sympathies, and it's possible to write say, Marie Antoinette as someone a modern character would side with, but I'm just really very sick of "they're rich, I'm rich, so everyone else must be... evil!"
