Carmen. Testo francese a fronte

Her character embodies rebellion and passion—I'm curious what the author envisioned as the core of her independence and fiery personality.

His obsession with Carmen felt both tragic and unsettling, making me wonder how much of his downfall was driven by love versus obsession.

The setting and characters feel so vivid—I'm interested in whether Mérimée's own experiences shaped the authenticity of this tale.
