J'ai trouvé cette histoire très pertinente, malgé l'époque où elle a lieu. Armand est insuferrable quand même, il se contredit tout le temps, et il faut être con pour ne pas pouvoir voir que Marguerite n'aurait pas pu le quitter comme ça, à sa volonté. C'est dommage qu'on n'a pas pu voir plus le côté de Marguerite. Toute la partie où le lecteur lit son journal intime est la plus touchante et la meilleure, à mon avis. J'ai feuilleté le livre après l'avoir fini, et ça m'a étonné comment le caractère de Margueurite a changé depuis le début. C'est très triste de la voir passer d'être une jolie belle fille à être une malade. Bref, l'histoire est un peu trop sentimental à mon avis, mais j'admire Dumas-fils d'avoir abordé ce sujet à son époque. Au fait, je dois avouer que je n'ai pas saisi la métaphore des camélias, il faut que je me renseigne...

Margueurite secoua la tête en signe de doute, et dit:
"Ne suis-je pas votre esclave, votre chien? Faites de moi ce que vous voudrez, prenez-moi, je suis à vous."
C'est à briser le coeur!

Those of us who love the classics, DO actually love the classics. And I may be in minority when I say that not one classic literature book has ever made me cry ("Pride & Prejudice" was VERY close). Not that it had ever affected my appreciation of these books, it had not. However, this changed yesterday night when I was finishing up with "La Dame aux Camelias". I bawled like a baby. I absolutely couldn't stop.
It was beautifully crafted, most of all it was mesmerizing, the romanticized soul of this book, its characters, the words Alexandre Dumas fils chose to describe the events with. It felt as if I could bear witness to the reality of what had happened.

Accessible and sappy as heck, it’s the story of a worldly and beautiful young woman whom a young man of little means enchants away from her dominating dragon of a man she doesn’t love. Where have we seen that before? Perseus rescuing Andromeda from the kraken? Jack rescuing rose from Industrialist Cal Hockley in Cameron’s Titanic? Or perhaps Gregory Pecks journalist rescuing Audrey Hepburn’s princess from a life of boredom and stifling royal obligations. On and on but perhaps in not in a version so melodramatic
