In September 1844, Dumas, who was not yet a little famous at the time, met Marie du Plessis, a famous Parisian courtesan. The two fall in love at first sight and quickly fall in love, and they have a happy time outside of Paris. However, real life is not as rosy as imagined. Two people whose passion fades have to face the test of real life. Du Plessis had long since become accustomed to the life of a drunken gold fan. She began to return to her old business again, and kept in touch with the big guys. Dumas was furious when he learned of this, wrote a farewell letter and resolutely left the country. Unexpectedly, this became a farewell for the two of them, and when Dumas returned home, Du Plessis was no longer alive. Dumas, who was intertwined with remorse and longing, imprisoned himself in the suburbs, and used this personal experience to create the classic "La Traviata". As soon as "La Traviata" was published, it became a bestseller, and it also made this epic tragedy spread and spread in the world with its unique artistic charm, and it will endure for a long time. 
01, an encounter, a love at first sightMargaret was originally a poor country girl. Due to the pressure of life, he had to start a career of selling jokes. With her outstanding appearance, Marguerite soon became the object of competition among many aristocratic sons, and Marguerite also became a smash hit courtesan in Paris. Armand first met Marguerite in front of a fashion store. Margaret wore a white muslin dress and an Italian straw hat, but her simple dress could not hide her charming face. Although it has fallen into the dust, it has an innocence that is not stained by the dust. Armand was fascinated by Marguerite. After much inquiry, Armand learned that Marguerite was a well-known local prostitute; No matter where she goes, she will always carry a camellia by her side, so everyone calls her "Camellia Girl". Ever since he saw Marguerite, Armand has never forgotten it. Unable to restrain his inner thoughts, he entrusted a friend to introduce him to Margaret. However, after seeing Marguerite, Armand's restrained demeanor provoked Marguerite's ridicule. At that time, Armand did not impress Marguerite too much. Until one time, Margaret fell ill. The dignitaries disappeared without a trace, and only Armand cared for Marguerite. Secretly pay attention to her physical condition every day, and persuade Margaret not to mutilate herself. When love comes, people always have no scruples. What Armand did awakened the love that Marguerite had buried deep in her heart. Her heart, which was already indifferent, was melted little by little. She enjoyed what Armand had done for her, and she was basked in happiness, and slowly Marguerite accepted the feelings. In this way, two people who had no overlap in their original identities and statuses came together because of love, just like Dumas wrote in the book: true love always makes people beautiful, no matter what kind of person is the woman who provokes this love.
There are also many people in real life, like Margaret, who go out of their way to pursue innocent love. In their eyes, the supreme love is worth guarding for a lifetime, and they feel that this kind of love is worth everything. 
02. Make a living with one hand and love with the otherIn the eyes of onlookers, the Lady of the Camellias lived an aristocratic life without worrying about food and clothing. But she was already tired of it in her heart, and behind the extreme luxury, there was a deep helplessness. Since meeting Armand, Marguerite has fallen in love and her life is instantly full of hope. Love is selfish at all times. When Armand saw Marguerite with the people who were playing on the scene, he was very angry with his possessive desires. Marguerite saw all this, and she gave up everything she had for Armand. Resolutely chose to go to the countryside with Armand, with full expectations and looking forward to a better future. Living in the countryside with Armand, Marguerite exudes childlike innocence. She happily chases butterflies or dragonflies in the garden; You can also sit for a whole hour; To see an ordinary flower, they were boating on the river; She and Armand would also make small talk against the railing of the windowsill. Marguerite also proposed to Armand that the two of them go to Italy together, to a place where no one knows, and start their future lives. Who would have thought that the beautiful woman in front of her was the dusty woman who once lived a luxurious life. No matter how beautiful your dreams are, they can't withstand the ravages of reality. Margaret, who had lost the old duke's funding and was already in debt, was even more stretched at this time. But she was kind and still thought about Armand, and didn't want Armand to worry about her, so she silently took all this by herself. To pay off her debts, Margaret sold her carriage, shawl, and jewelry. But even so, Marguerite still had a lot of foreign debts to pay, and Armand was kept in the dark. No matter how beautiful the wind and snow are, they can't withstand the cruelty of reality. It is like a demon mirror, making beautiful love vulnerable in the face of reality, and Margaret is struggling on the way to make a living and make love. The years are quiet for a moment, and chicken feathers are daily. When two people live together, you must know that overly idealistic love is often difficult to surpass the test of reality and exist independently. Instead, we should use a rational attitude to deal with the relationship between love and real life, love is a two-way street, and life should be operated together. 
03, let go once, regret for a lifetimeIt was thought that Armand would live happily with Marguerite, but all good things came to an abrupt end with the arrival of Armand's father. The father would never allow his son to associate with a courtesan. He found Margaret several times and showed his attitude. He didn't want Armand to ruin his future because of a woman, and persuaded Marguerite to leave Armand. The kind-hearted Margaret knew that her father did this out of deep love for his son, and she was in a deep conflict at this time. She loved Armand, and the time she spent with him was her happiest time. But because of this love, she didn't want to ruin Armand. Eventually, Marguerite decided to sacrifice her feelings, promising Armand's father that she would never see Armand again. She wrote a letter to Armand and went back to her old life. The strongest love is fulfillment, full of affection, just for you to be happy. Armand was furious when he learned that Marguerite had returned to Paris, and that what had been a strong love had turned into hatred. In order to get revenge on Margaret, he deliberately kept Margaret's friend Olympe. Two people who once loved each other tortured each other like this. Marguerite, who was already frail, became increasingly ill under Armand's crazy revenge, and Armand's relentless stimulation became a sword to destroy her. In the end, under the double torture of love and illness, Margaret died tragically. Life is forever fixed at the age of 23. Selfish love is not allowed to be shared with others, and selfless love is to turn love into a kind of fulfillment, but between selfishness and selflessness, there is an indescribable pain. The kind-hearted Marguerite sacrificed her love in exchange for the happiness of Armand's family, and perhaps this kind of letting go is more respectful from the heart. As Nietzsche said:Only the nobility in the blood and the kindness in the soul are the biggest cards.
The love between Alexandre Dumas and Marie Duplecy passed quietly, and "La Traviata" ended in a tragedy; Whether it is Dumas in real life or Armand in "La Traviata", they will eventually live with deep regrets. 
04. Write at the endThe farthest distance in the world is not life and death, but I stand in front of you, and you don't know that I love you. Margaret's fate is a sigh of relief and thought-provoking. This woman, who blindly gave and compromised for love, not only did not regain love, but even paid the price of her life. Just imagine, if Margaret could fight for it again, would there be a different ending? I thought that letting go was a kind of fulfillment, but in the end it became sad. In the face of love, you must stick to your heart, and only then will you find the path to happiness. May you and I in life be more brave and firm in the face of love, and strive to pursue the beautiful life we yearn for.
