Features: The protagonist of the novel, Marguerite, was originally a poor country girl who came to Paris to make a living. Unfortunately, she fell into the world of vice and became a prostitute, and also developed the habit of extravagance. She indulged in pleasure to numb herself, but inwardly, she despised this empty life. This fallen woman, who still retained a pure heart, longed for a genuine life of love. La Dame aux Camélias (Camille) depicts the love tragedy of a prostitute. It is based on a real story of a prostitute in Paris at that time. It is said that this prostitute was named Hortense, and due to her impoverished background, she went to Paris to make a living at the age of fifteen. In the major social circles of Paris, the talented and intelligent Hortense became the target of rich men and playboys. She exchanged her beauty and body for a luxurious life of enjoyment. Ultimately, she fell ill and died from excessive drinking and revelry, leaving this world prematurely at the age of twenty-three.
