La mujer que nacio como Charlotte de Belgique y que fue, historicamente hablando, en un abrir y cerrar de ojos la emperatriz Carlota de Mexico (1864-1867) y esposa de Maximiliano de Habsburgo, paso imborrablemente a la memoria colectiva de Mexico como 'Carlota la Loca'. Al fructifero engranaje entre literatura, cine, arte e imaginacion popular se deben varios cambios paradigmaticos: a lo largo de siglo y medio, se desvanecen las coherencias y se crean nuevos significados pasando por alto la dimension politico-historica. Al ser despojada paulatinamente de sus circunstancias historicas concretas, la mujer a la que generaciones de historiadores siempre se han esforzado en referirse a ella como 'Carlota de Belgica', 'la Intrusa Infame', para distanciarse de la Intervencion Francesa, ha perdido esta singularidad extranjera y ha llegado a ser 'Carlota de Mexico', el fantasma de Chapultepec para el disfrute y escalofrio del publico, 'la Loca del Castillo'.
