Describe Sisi: Explain how she is a(n) Gothic/Empire heroine

In her new role as Empress, Sisi took on the new task of being immersed in the empire. It appears she is more opposite of an empire heroine, in that, she rebelled against the ideas of her Aunt Sophie. She was not educated on diplomatic affairs like her sister, Helene, so she did not adhere to the constraints the empire desired. She was; however, a good asset to the making peace in Hungary. She much more easily described as a Gothic heroine. Due to her many tragedies as a mother and her cage that she was held in at Schonbrunn, Sisi is the embodiment of Gothic heroine.
