In reality, Felton was motivated by the stirring Republican sentiment that would soon generate a revolution;

Why the capitalization of Republican? If it is just the political theory then it should be lowercase... unless this is a GOP inspired assassination. Orangemanbad! Orangemanbad!

The destructive aspect of LOVE. Milady loved power — Richelieu’s type of power. No normal man can live up to that standard to win her over. What happens to the frustrated lover that make things worse is to pine for what they can’t have. Love in many respects is not about the person — the beloved — but their status, their social position, their friends & family, etc., that elevate your position in your own eyes. So, it really boils down to two things: 1) insecurity 2) dopamine.

"He loves her; she keeps trying to kill him."

d'Artagnan didn't love the beautiful bitch. He was a horney dude who wanted to--and did--have sex with her.

(He was also making it with her maid, who helped him escape de Winter's murderous knife-wielding wrath when, after accepting Milady's offer of a night of fun in the sack in exchange for d'Artagnan's murdering the Duke of Buckingham, he reneged on his part of the bargain, in the ensuing scuffle discovered her fleur-de-lis, and barely escaped with his life by jumping out of the window, into the streets of Paris, wearing one of the maid's dresses.)

Felton was motivated by the stirring Republican sentiment that would soon generate the French revolution;

Some historians are saying when Ben Franklin went to France and convinced them to helped Americans......
the beleagured peasants were incentivized to foment their own revolution.
