Hello! Sister Juiping has brought you a classic short story Carmen by the French writer Prosper Mérimée. Carmen tells an exciting and mysterious love story. The story takes place in a free-spirited, passionate, and wild land—Spain. The Spanish people are a bold and passionate nation, loving and hating without restraint. The Bohemians wandering in the Spanish region add a touch of mystery to the free-spirited Spanish culture. In Carmen, we will encounter the image of a fiercely spirited Bohemian girl, Carmen. In the novel, Carmen seems to embody all kinds of evil. However, this outstanding work written in 1845 portrays a vivid and striking female character. Carmen has a strong and stubborn personality. She refuses to follow social conventions and moral norms but insists on her own unique moral standards, always pursuing an independent and free life, never handing her fate or love over to anyone. Therefore, she would rather sacrifice her life to remain true to herself, chasing the freedom and independence of her personality. Sister Juiping hopes that the little friends can see both the flaws in Carmen and learn her outstanding strengths, becoming independent and self-reliant people in life.
