Bastille :-
Bastille was a fortress in Paris, France. It was known formally as the Bastille Saint-Antoine. The Bastille originally built in 1370 as a 'Bastide' or 'Fortification' to protect the walled city of Paris from English attack. It was later converted into an independent stronghold, and its name - Bastide - was corrupted to Bastille. The Bastille was first used as a state prison in the 17th century, and its cells were reserved for upper-class felons, political trouble makers and spies. Most of the prisoners were imprisoned without a trial under the direct orders of the king. On the morning of 14th July 1789, when only seven prisoners were confined in the building, a mob advanced on the Bastille with the intention of asking the prison governor to release the arms and munitions stored there. But angered by the governor's evasiveness, the people stormed and captured the place. This dramatic action came to symbolize the end of the ancient regime.
Now, here is the answer of your question.
The Bastille was hated by all because the Bastille was owned by the king and also it was the symbol of the despotic and cruel powers of the king and abuses done by the monarchy. It reflected the domination of the monarch. At that time there were rumors in France that the king had sent brigades to destroy the peasants' crops.
