Question

Why was the Bastille hated by all?

Answer 1

Bastille was a fortress prison in France. It was a symbol of the despotic powers of King Louis XVI. Hence it was hated all in France. The fortress was demolished and its stone fragments were sold in the markets. On July 14, 1789, a Paris mob stormed the Bastille, they hoped to free prisoners at the Bastille, as it was traditionally a fortress in which political prisoners were held.
