This was a very tragic story; it was very sad. Rudolph had many issues. I suppose it was easier to die with someone than alone, so this is why he did it. He made himself into a murderer so he could kill himself. He had no one around to be supportive, and his mother's family was very eccentric to say the least, and he inheirited this. Mary Vetsera was a naive young woman, who become the victim of both herself, and Rudolph. She went along with his plot, foolishly, and thus died, and he did as well. She was foolish, yet she did possess sexual magnetism, although she was no great beauty at all. She was pretty, and her stoory is sad, but she should have known better. Perhaps she was pregnant; she was one of many women to Rudolph. I don't think Rudolph would have made a good Emperor if he hadn't killed himself.
