Is the Third Estate something that should be feared?
Is the third estate something that should be feared? As always, there are many answers to that question but my opinion falls on the yes side. Why? Simply because they have the most power. As the largest estate, they have the potential to do anything they can think of with the very value of teamwork. The third estate definitely becomes something to be feared because with a group with so much power comes responsibility. As you can see in the picture, the higher estates are shocked of the third estate that is breaking free. Why might they be shocked? Because they are afraid of the third estate that they now see has more power than them. This happens when they are not responsible with what they were given and in this case, the third estate. This comes back to my answer of the original question: Yes, the third estate should be feared as it is the biggest estate with most power and comes with the price of huge responsibility.
