Sisi; Goth or not?

When reading through Lonely Empress, it is interesting to look at the gothic side of Sisi's life. She was surrounded by death throughout her life, leading to her mental degradation and introverted life style. She was essentially imprisoned within her own titles; being queen meant she was surrounded by the cage of the empire and forced into a more structured way of life than she would have hoped for. Her behaviour was forced throughout her life; when she was younger, she was forced to train to become someone she wasn't, which lead to her unhappiness, and when older was forced into living like an empress and embracing the controlling lifestyle of the empire; a life which would lead to her depression. Due to these aspects of Sisi's life, she ended mentally unstable and incapable of normal relations; a truly gothic heroin, Sisi's life ended in the direction that so many who resist the empire take-- insanity or death.
