The symbolic meaning of The Barricade
Whenever France has another revolution, the people raise the barricade, a symbol of revolt. Revolution is a double-edged sword that destroys and kills even as it hastens progress. The barricade separates the old regime from the new, the monarchy from the Republic, the subject from the citizen. Revolution, like the barricade, is spontaneous, and it is created by the people. It is the first line of defense against the status quo and a vantage point from which to shoot and kill tyranny. Unfortunately, the blood of human beings is always spilled in a revolution, and sometimes the outcome of the revolution is unexpected. Sometimes it is hard to know which side of the barricade to stand on, as Victor Hugo learned in 1848.
