La Dame aux Camelias : ウィキペディア英語版
The Lady of the Camellias

''The Lady of the Camellias'' ((フランス語:La Dame aux camélias)) is a novel by Alexandre Dumas, ''fils'', first published in 1848, and subsequently adapted for the stage. ''The Lady of the Camellias'' premiered at the Théâtre du Vaudeville in Paris, France on February 2, 1852. The play was an instant success, and Giuseppe Verdi immediately set about putting the story to music. His work became the 1853 opera ''La Traviata'', with the female protagonist, Marguerite Gautier, renamed Violetta Valéry.
In the English-speaking world, ''The Lady of the Camellias'' became known as ''Camille'' and 16 versions have been performed at Broadway theatres alone. The title character is Marguerite Gautier, who is based on Marie Duplessis, the real-life lover of author Dumas, ''fils''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alexandre Dumas fils )
==Summary and analysis==

The theme of ''The Lady of the Camellias'' is a love story between Marguerite Gautier, a "demi-mondaine" ("courtisane" in the original French, i.e., a woman "kept" by various lovers, frequently more than one at a time) suffering from tuberculosis, and a young provincial bourgeois, Armand Duval. The narration of the love story is told by Duval himself to the (unnamed) narrator of the book. She is named as the Lady of the Camellias because she wears a white camellia when she is available to her lover(s) and a red one when her delicate condition precludes making love.
Armand falls in love with Marguerite and ultimately becomes her lover, convincing her to turn her back on her life as a "courtisane" and live with him in the countryside. This idyllic existence is broken by Armand's father, who, concerned by the scandal created by the illicit relationship and fearful that it will destroy his daughter's (Armand's sister's) chances of marriage, convinces Marguerite to leave Armand, who believes, up until Marguerite's death, that she has left him for another man. Marguerite's death is described as an unending agony, during which Marguerite, abandoned by everyone, can only regret what might have been.
Unlike the love of the Chevalier des Grieux for Manon Lescaut (to which story Dumas himself makes reference at the beginning of ''The Lady of the Camellias''), Armand's love is for a woman who is ready to sacrifice her riches and her lifestyle for him, but who is thwarted by the arrival of Armand's father.
Dumas is careful to paint a favourable portrait of Marguerite, who despite her past is rendered virtuous by her love for Armand, and the suffering of the two lovers, whose love is shattered by the need to conform to the morals of the times, is rendered touchingly.
The novel is also marked by the description of Parisian life during the 19th century and the fragile world of the "courtisanes".
