La Traviata

The male protagonist Armand has a very representative character among the male protagonists in many love stories. Just like the male protagonists in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing (I don't quite understand why Dumas and Shakespeare can write similar male protagonists even though they are two or three hundred years apart, maybe even after the baptism of time and historical changes, some of their essences will not change) - they have simple characters, are sincere and pure, and are affectionate and loyal in love. But at the same time, it also has a unique label of the times. It ridicules, insults and abuses the girls who "betrayed" them. On the one hand, it hopes that the girls will take the initiative to plead for forgiveness, and on the other hand, it generally drives them into madness and gradually drives them into desperation. Or become addicted to alcohol, or have a serious illness, or fall into the abyss of gambling. Then after learning the truth, he was filled with regret and even shed tears.
