Si on lit entre les lignes, <a title="Montesquieu" href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montesquieu"><span style="color:black;text-decoration:none;">Montesquieu</span></a> critique clairement de façon implicite le système monarchique sous lequel il vit. Cette « arme fatale » (créée par <a title="Richelieu" href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richelieu"><span style="color:black;text-decoration:none;">Richelieu</span></a>) consiste à réunir les 3 pouvoirs (législatif, judiciaire et exécutif) sur la tête d&#8217;une seule et même personne: le Roi. En résumé, dans ce texte, Montesquieu laisse entendre la vulnérabilité et la versatilité des Français face à leur souverain.</span></p>

Adorno was a member of the Frankfurt School in interwar Germany. He followed a neo Marxian belief that modern art, media, etc. were controlled by the ruling elites. Any dissenting views articulated in art would be co-opted by the all-encompassing culture industry, which would always prevail.
