In both stories, the heroines have an extremely wild and rebellious character. I liked how he addresses the gypsy theme- showing much respect for them. In Colomba- I did not like the Englishwoman and how Orso accepted being "civilized"- which is what the English love to do. I hated how she was capricious and arrogant- thinking she was so special and unique. How Orso's wild and passionate personality submitted before her. Carmen was my favorite, portraying a very strong character, a strong woman.
