    Love this question.

    Satire, societal or religious criticisms through use of other literary devices.

    The king meeting Denis and his mother (?):

    "I order you to be quiet!"

    "Order ey? Ooh do you think you are then?"

    "I am your king!"

    "King ey? I didn't vote for you?"

    "Help, help! See how violence in inherent in the system"

    Alright..it is a bit of both but it is about, no not the king but about how important revolutionaries think they are. Especially when they have the opportunity to 'defend themselves' against the regal establishment.
