is a play about a gypsy named Carmen who wooed a soldier causing him to abandon his job, mother's last wish, and former lover. After she succeeded in convincing him to join her smuggling gang, Carmen fell in love with a well-known and well-loved bullfighter. In effect, the soldier felt betrayed so he killed Carmen.
Carmen...a spirit of free love, moving from one man to the next. After she is bored with one, she discards him and look for another victim to her neverlasting love.. Confident with her beauty. When I watched the play, it makes me wonder how extreme this play can get. At the same time, all the possibilities it holds when a love gone wrong can lead to so many crazy acts. Carmen was unfaithful to begin with so it was understandable that she deserved such an ending. But what about the people who are not like Carmen? What if they found someone else who they feel much more in love with than their former, could they escape the Carmen-ending or a tragic ending?

keep thinking like that. It's good to look at it like that cuz for every story there's always two sides to it, or two philosophy. :)
