Dans La Marechale, Mirbeau-Bauquenne met a profit un fait-divers pathetique sur lequel il a enquete pour le compte du Gaulois et qui lui a permis de decouvrir un personnage exceptionnel, shakespearien meme, modele de l'heroine eponyme: la princesse de la Moskova (1803-1881), fille du banquier Jacques Laffitte. Ce fait-divers est l'occasion revee pour montrer que, dans une societe mercantile ou tout se vend et s'achete, la liberte aussi a un prix, et que, dans un univers ou regne la loi du plus fort, l'innocence doit etre ineluctablement sacrifiee a l'injustice etablie. Sous son masque de respectabilite, le monde apparait de nouveau comme un repaire de debauches sans scrupules, qui amassent des millions grace a de louches speculations et de pendables trafics, et les jettent par la fenetre dans des activites derisoires et de couteuses representations, ou regne l'hypocrisie. La critique sociale est infiniment plus virulente que chez Daudet !
