小仲馬的小說《茶花女》是法國戲劇由浪漫主義向現實主義過渡時期的產物，據此小說改編的話劇《茶花女》，也被視為法國現實主義戲劇開端的標志，不以情節的曲折離奇取勝，而以真切自然的情理感人，結構謹嚴，語言流暢，富有抒情意味。
Alexandre Dumas， fils was born in Paris， France， the illegitimate child of Marie-Laure-Catherine Labay
（1794-1868）， a dressmaker， and novelist Alexandre Dumas. During 1831 his father legally recognized him and ensured that the young Dumas received the best education possible at the Institution Goubaux and the College Bourbon. At that time， the law allowed the elder Dumas to take the child away from his mother. Her agony inspired Dumas fils to write about tragic female characters.
During 1844 Dumas moved to Saint-Germainen-Laye to live with his father. There， he met Marie Duplessis， a young courtesan who would be the inspiration for his romantic novel The Lady of the
Camellias （La Dame aux camelias）， wherein Duplessis was named Marguerite Gauthier. Adapted into a play， it was titled Camille in English and became the basis for Verdi's 1853 opera， la Traviata， Duplessis undergoing yet another name change， this time to Violetta Valery.

These unfortunate creatures whenever they go out are always acpanied by somebody or other.
As no macares to make himself conspicuous by being seeitheir pany， and as they are afraid of solitude， they take with them either those who are not well enough off to have a camage， or one or another of those elegant， ancient ladies， whose elegance is a little inexplicable， and to whom one caalways go for informatioiregard to the womewhom they acpany.
IMarguerite's case it was quite different. She was always alsone wheshe drove ithe Champs-Elysees，lying back iher carriage as much as possible， dressed ifurs iwinter， and isummer wearmg very simple dresses; and though she oftepassed people whom she knew， her smile，wheshe chose to smile， was seeonly by them， and a duchess might have smiled ijust
such a manner. She did not drive to and fro like the others， from the Rond-Point to the end of the Champs Elysees. She drove straight to the Bois. There she left her carriage， walked for ahour， returned to her carriage， and drove rapidly home.
All these circumstances which I had so oftewitnessed came back to my memory， and I regretted her death as one might regret the destructioof a beautiful work of art.
It was impossible to see more charm ibeauty thaithat of Marguerite. Excessively tall and thin， she had ithe fullest degree the art of repairing this oversight of Nature by the mere arrangement of the things she wore. Her cashmere reached to the ground，and showed oeach side the large flounces of a silk dress， and the heavy muff which she held pressed against her bosom was surrounded by such cunningly arranged folds that the eye， however exacting， could find no fault with the contour of the lines.
