I am not sure exactly what you mean, but if you are talking point of view, this is first person point of view.
Members of the 3rd Estate in France had all sorts of reasons to dislike the king and queen -- King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette -- in the days leading up to the French Revolution. Let me count the ways (well, a few of them):
1. Louis XVI was not a kingly figure. He preferred to be out in the woods hunting or at a workbench taking apart a clock than doing the tasks of royal government. He wasn't the sort of person to inspire the confidence of the people in him.
2. Marie Antoinette was an Austrian princess, and the French people despised the Austrians. France and Austria had been enemies for years, and this attempt to bring the two countries together through a marriage wasn't popular with the people.
3. Louis and Marie had sex problems. You'd think that would be a private matter, but when you're the king and queen it's your job to produce an heir to the throne, and they weren't managing to do that.
4. Both Louis and Marie spent way too much money -- money that came from the taxpayers (the members of the 3rd Estate). Louis spent it on the lavish palace life of Versailles and on wars. (His government had given a huge loan to the Americans to help them fight vs. Britain.) Marie spent money on frills and dresses and jewelry and whatnot.
5. They didn't seem to know the people's situation or care about them much. They didn't want to be bothered with concerns about the poor people of France.
I could keep counting more ways, but that's enough for now!
The Gracchus reforms which took place in second century B.C by brothers Tiberius and Gaius; esentially attempted to return the land to small farmers (Plebeians) from the hands of the wealthy class (Patricians).
The immediate outcome of this struggle was instability in Rome and the assassination of both brothers directly by the hand of the senators in broad daylight with absolute impunity, this, showing the power of the senate in republican Rome, as well as, how difficult it was to change the situation.
Historians at the time even claim that within 15 years after the Gracchus reforms, the Plebeians were in a much worse position than before, many of them reduced to unemployment.
The outcome in the long term was no good for plebeians either. The reforms had no permanent effect, some of them were repealed at once while some continued with weak effects over time. Land problems and differences between classes plagued Rome at all times thereafter.
