Decline of Robespierre
- reads out a list of threats of people whom he plans to kill the next day but does not reveal who
- people are all terrified: don't know if they could be on the list
- they overthrow Robespierre
- Robespierre tries to kill himself right after
- does not succeed- he is then killed by the Guillotine like all others whom he killed
