Camille is the breakthrough work of French writer Alexandre Dumas fils (1824-1895). Parisian courtesan Marguerite is conquered by the sincere love of Armand, who is not wealthy, and both fall deeply in love. Just as this passionate couple aspires to a better life, Armand's father secretly forces Marguerite to leave him. Unaware of the truth, Armand believes Marguerite is intentionally abandoning him and resorts to all means to retaliate against her. Marguerite endures humiliation and suffers from the double torment of illness and grief, eventually dying in sorrow. Only her final diary reveals to Armand the sacrifices she made for love. This is a tragedy, yet who would refuse such sincere and passionate love, free of any utilitarianism?
