Carmen

Love's a child of gypsy blood, that never ever treats you right...
At least that's how they translated it I think.

Anyway, do you think that love that causes someone to kill their lover out of love/jealousy can really be called love? Or true love? Seems more like stupidity to me...

Infatuation, Don Jose was infatuated, also kinda cursed by Carmen to fall in love with her so she can play with men's hearts. Coz she's a gypsy, she was born free and will die free.

I hope that love will set your lover free. That you want them to be happy and not miserable, you'll set them free. Jealousy is something that comes along with love/dating/marriage unless you have complete trust in your partner to stay faithful.

Then what is love?

Jealousy is focused on having good done to you.

Being loving is focused on giving good to the other person.

But if your question Pun is what is llllluuuuurrrrrvvvveeee... Then you'll have to ask...

Well Leach, I've never been in luuuuuuuurve before so you'd have to define it for me. :P

At least in Carmen, he developed an obsessive love for her and couldn't let go. He was a naive boy who couldn't take infidelity and then her constant taunts and looks towards Escamillo (the Toreador) fuelled his jealousy. Consequently leading to her murder.

Love means being able to say you're sorry, I think.

Whilst jealousy to that excess is v. v. bad, obviously, a little bit makes people feel valued. Or it would make me feel valued. Stoopid Tim is all noble and says that if I was like "I've met this other guy and like him better. Bye!" He would be sad but not fight for me, on account of my happiness being more important etc etc. I tried to explain that cool fighting for me would make me happy but he said that jealousy was pointless and no.

Stupid Tim. I wanted sword fights. Will have to only leave him for someone else if they're really great and/or Tim changes his mind.

Dawww... not only has Angi snagged a mature man, she's disappointed with his potential lack of jealousy. Good on Tim! But yes I do agree, some swordfighting sounds good to watch ;)
