Love Is Blindly Bright

Is it love if a man hurt his lover cruelly because of jealous? Is it love if a woman forgive her lover no matter how deep she is hurt? If it is not love, what is it?

The Lady of the Camellias (French: La Dame aux camélias) written by Dumas is so famous a book that many years before I read it, I have heard of it for many times, from many sources. I couldn’t understand why this book was appreciated around the world, just telling a story of a courtesan, until I read it. I am 20 years old.

There was far more than I expected. I am still moved and appreciate once I recall the memory. There has been nearly a month since I finished the book. I am late for the review, but I believe I can keep the feeling for long.

Let it dates back to a month ago, I began to read the English version of the French novel, but I really found it difficult to understand at the beginning. Strangely, I knew the words but I just couldn’t get the meaning. That’s the reason why I stopped for few days and even considered of giving it up.

I insisted reading but in a snail-slow speed. A week later, I decided to treat it more seriously. What I didn’t expect was that I could hardly stop when I reach the part Marguerite appeared. And the appreciation from the bottom of my heart began to climb up.

Marguerite was not a common woman. As a courtesan, she appeared very different from other kept women. In addition to her incredible beauty, she was childish, lovely, pure, decent, kind and noble, sometimes a little wayward. She laughed gaily for small things, despite of her severe illness; she got angry just because she failed to play several keys of the piano; she kept showing unwelcome to refuse the duke she didn’t like; she didn’t accept Armand’s money because she didn’t want to be his mistress; she pawned and sold her things to collect money so as to travel and live with Armand in the countryside; she listened to Armand’s father and found excuse to broke up with Armand, because she didn’t want to ruin his family
