\n
\nIn the film's final scene, Abigail Masham (Emma Stone), who has risen through the social ranks to become Queen Anne's (Olivia Colman) favorite, crushes a rabbit, the queen's pet. The queen, who is in bed, calls Abigail to her side and orders her to massage her legs. As she does so, Abigail realizes how precarious her position is.
\n
\nThe film ends with a superimposed shot of Abigail, Queen Anne and the Queen's rabbits. This image has several possible interpretations.
\n
\nOn the one hand, the rabbits represent the 17 children lost by Queen Anne. They are constant reminders of her pain and loss, but also of her power - they are the only beings she can truly control. Abigail, by crushing the rabbit, demonstrates her cruelty and lack of respect for the Queen's suffering.
\n
\nOn the other hand, the superimposition of images can symbolize the confusion of roles and identities. Abigail, who thought she had won by becoming the queen's favorite, actually finds herself in a position of servitude. She has become one of the queen's rabbits - an object of companionship, devoid of any real power.
\n
\nFinally, this scene can also be seen as a representation of the British court of the time, where alliances and loyalties were constantly in question, and power could be as ephemeral as it was cruel.
\n
\nIn short, La Favorite's ending is open to several interpretations, all of which depict a world of power, betrayal and cruelty."},"content":{"rendered":"
